Answer:

Simile

Step-by-step explanation:

In this excerpt, Juliet compares Romeo's last name, Montague, to the smell of the roses, in the first few lines. Also, Juliet does this using the words "like" or "as". She says that "would smell as sweet" (She is talking about the rose). Thus, this is a simile. Hope this helps!
