The story of Romeo and Juliet is a romance story that ended in tragedy. The story consists of two lovers who were in families who's were enemies of each other. That was Romeo's and Juliet's lone obstacle. Their love for each other was unreal due to the fact they loved each other so much that you might think that they were meant for each other. The story ends in tragedy when Romeo and Juliet die due to their love for each other. Romeo dies by drinking poison when he saw Juliet sleeping from the sleeping potion that made her sleep for three days. Then Juliet kills herself by stabbing herself with a dagger when she wakes up and sees Romeo died. Romeo is the protagonist who is romantic, virtuous, and impulsive.
Romeo plays a very romantic person in the play. To illustrate this point Romeo is the only son of Lord Montague, the head of a reputed and rich family of Verona that is plagued by its long-standing feud with the Capulet family. In the first scenes, Romeo appears indifferent to his family's feud. His only concern is his love for Rosaline, a love, which is overwhelming, but artificial. Romeo is really in love with the idea of love. When he does not receive love in return, he grows melancholy and brooding. Even his friend Benvolio cannot distract him. In this short passage we can distinguish that Romeo is quite romantic since his only concern was his love for Rosaline. We can also observe that Romeo contains a very romantic behavior. For example when Romeo states.
"O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!.
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night.
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear---------.
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!.
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows.
As yonder lady o"er her fellows shoes.
The measure done, I"ll watch her place of stand.
And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!.
