"O romeo , romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet." Basically what Juliet is saying is she don't care what her father says she wants to marry romeo no matter if they should be enemies or not.Love is suppose to be a good thing, love is suppose to overcome any obstacle.
