Do you recognize this quote? This piece of writing is a famous piece by William Shakespeare and is in act 2 scene 2 of the play Romeo and Juliet. The piece was made in 1591 - 1595 and made as a play in the 1600's. But this isn't the whole quote the whole quote is "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." This means that a name doesn't matter about anything, because it's not the name it's what they are.William Shakespeare was born in United Kingdom at the location of Stratford- upon -Avon.
When William presented his play to Samuel Pepy his comment was "this is the worst play Iv'e seen in my life." But now it is one of the most popular plays in existents. It consist of 5 acts with a differnet number of scenes in each in act 1 there is 5, 2 has 6, 3 has 5, 4 has 5, and the 5th act has 3 scenes.
The play is about two people who were not aloud to love eachother. But then they decided to get married. But there is no happy ending because the night before the wedding Juliet kills herself. So Romeo couldn't ber it and he killed himself too.
Heres a link about it.
