Romeo is a Montague does not mean he iS a bad person.
a D. Romeo may be a good person, but since he
S a Montague she

Answer 1

C- The fact that Romeo is a Montague does not mean he is a bad person.

Step-by-step explanation:

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet."

This means that what matters is what something is, not what it is named.

This applies to Romeo and Juliet, in which Juliet seems to argue that it does not matter that Romeo is from her family's rival house of Montague. Despite being a Montague, he is still Romeo and she loves him.

Have a lovely rest of your day! :)
