    If I recall correctly, "where art thou" means "why are you". Source: "Romeo, Romeo, Where art thou Romeo?" -- Romeo and Juliet

    Uhm, i thought 'why' was 'wherefore'. I might be wrong anyway.

    'O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?'

    I played Bassanio in Merchant of Venice a couple of years ago which is about as close as I got to a romantic lead...

    I'm not sure actually. Project Gutenberg reports this:
    "O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
    Deny thy father and refuse thy name!
    Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
    And I'll no longer be a Capulet."
    and then:
    "Jul. 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
    Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
    What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
    Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
    Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!".

    You are correct, 'wherefore' is used there. I probably wasn't paying attention when I actually read it, and 'why' seemed to fit in there well.
