In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the famous line “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet” means names are mere labels, arbitrary conventions that do not define the essence or true quality of a thing (or person). Juliet says this to Romeo, lamenting that his family name (Montague) is the only barrier to their love, as his actual person is still wonderful regardless of that name.
Context: Juliet wishes Romeo would renounce his name, so their love is not tied to their feuding families.
Meaning: A name is just a word; the rose’s fragrance (beauty, goodness) stays the same even if called something else.
Relevance: It highlights the conflict between imposed identities (family names) and individual essence, though, names often carry significant social weight.
The Shakespearean View (Labels are Arbitrary)
Meaning: Juliet says this to Romeo, meaning his name (Montague) doesn’t change who he is, just as a rose wouldn’t smell less sweet if called by another word.
Core Idea: The name is just a convention, not the person’s true nature or value.
The Modern & Societal View (Names Matter A Lot)
Identity & Self-Perception: Names shape who we are as we grow, forming our self-description and influencing how others see us.
Cultural Significance: Names can carry dignity, identity, and family history (e.g., Squamish Nation names).
Bias & Prejudice: Names can unfortunately trigger biases, affecting job prospects (e.g., racial bias studies) or how people are treated.
Hopes & Expectations: Parents give names reflecting dreams, aspirations, or guiding a child’s path.
In Summary
While Shakespeare suggested names are just words, experience shows they are powerful tools that can define, connect, and even prejudice, holding deep meaning beyond their sound.
Thus, mused Shakespeare. Through the mouth of Juliet, but the true opinion is that of the author, or the author’s conception of how the character he shaped, will or shall think. Frankly, without the study of Shakespeare I can’t say much about him. We studied the language per se only till HSC, and in school, it was a 100 marks subject but a lower-level syllabus. We never reached the stage of Shakespear. Some of the classical Victorian era poets are represented, that were the bane of students.
Recently, the song from “Omkara” is posted, wherein the name came up. Those drama’s written by him are in the theatrical form. I have seen “Omkara” and “Maqbool”, given a miss to ‘Hyder” though want to see it. It has an interesting ‘grave diggers’ song. The two in the trio I have seen are about strong characterisation, and violent emotion and betrayal and reaction to the betrayal. The romantic drama of ‘Romeo & Juliet” also ends with death. Shakespeare and his work is, as British as the British go. Reminds of an uncle who used to be a neighbour and now no more. He had done a major in British History in the UK. An urdudaan from Lakhnow and fond of all things Lakhnowi.
He once said that the British history is most violent and full of gory and barbaric episodes. That is the cultural and historical background, from which Shakespeare springs up and writes of violence foremost in his stories. But then, I wonder, in a theatrical drama setting, how much and how far the violence can be portrayed?
There was a prompt for this song from ‘Raam-lakhan”, the post of “Naam” category song by Atul ji. I saw the list of such songs posted in the blog given in that post and immediately this song and the one from “kati-Patang” came to mind.
These two songs from this film from 1989 are already posted:-
| Song | Date of post |
|---|---|
| O Ram jee bada dukh deenha tere Lakhan ne | 2 June 2021 |
| One two ka four four two ka one…my name is Lakhan | 11 August 2021 |
The composer’s and lyricist are the ever-trusted team of Laxmikant-Pyarelal and Anand Bakshi. Manhar Udhas is singing for Jackie Shroff and Anuradha Paudwal is singing for Dimple Kapadia. A very catchy, melodious, filmed in the outdoors song. It is Ooty and director Subhash Ghai is spotted, teasing the lovebirds and riding a bicycle. Anil Kapoor is also present in the song, who is Lakhan, following his elder brother and his girl friend around, trying to hide alongwith friends.
Outdoors, green tea plantations, railway tracks near the lake, heritage bungalows and their imposing entrance gates, tree lined streets and by-lanes etc etc. A heavily made-up Dimple with her gorgeous mane, and an impish, suit clad IPS officer Jackie Shroff make this song good to watch too.
Trivia: I saw someone looking like Nawazuddin Siddiqui among Anil Kapoor’s friends here.
