Introduction
Hook
“What’s in a name?” you may ask. William Shakespeare made this commonplace question memorable in these lines from Romeo and Juliet:
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.
These lines illustrate the power of figurative language in poetry.
