First, to answer your question properly, it should read, "What are the surnames of the characters, Romeo and Juliet, in Shakespeare's play of the same name?" The answer would be Montague, and Capulet, respectively. Technically, as your question reads, one might say Juliet wound up with the last name, Montague, since, as the text reads, "Capulet. O brother Montague, give me thy hand: This is my daughter's jointure, for no more Can I demand. Mon. But I can give thee more: For I will raise her statue in pure gold; That whiles Verona by that name is known, There shall no figure at such rate be set As that of true and faithful Juliet. Cap. As rich shall Romeo's by his lady's lie; Poor sacrifices of our enmity! " Consider- is this a posthumous civil marriage, wherin the bride is given in marriage by her father to Montague as his son's (the groom) proxy? Many matches have been made just so, for centuries, to keep the peace, so why not just as symbolically binding posthumously?
