Read the following excerpt and answer the question that follows:

JULIET
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

What is the significance of the diction in this speech?

Juliet uses violent words to show her true anger.
Juliet refers to "title," expressing a love of money.
Juliet refers to a rose, revealing her romantic feelings.
Juliet uses unhappy words to show her misery.
