RLB 2: What is the author's purpose

I believe the author of 'By Any Other Name,' Santha Rama Rau's purpose was to show that Shakespeare's concept of names not mattering was actually "incorrect" because names are actually extremely important. She's try to show readers that names represent who you are. She proves by saying how all the racism which occurred in the Anglo-Indian school she attended did not matter because it all happened to her alibi, Cynthia, instead of her true self. This train of thought implies that Shakespeare is not entirely correct about the fact that a name does that matter.
