I think that Romeo and Juliet are defiantly viewed as heroes. They both faught till the very end, just for their love for each other. They even took the risk of dying. In Act IV Scene I lines 89-126 explains Friar Laurence's plan, and show how Juliet accepts that plan. So I think Romeo and Juliet are true heroes.

I think that Shakespeare make Juliet's parents seem like aggressive and overprotective people. But I do not think that he make them look like villains. If you think about it, Juliet's parents are only trying to protect her from the enemy, which are the Montagues like Romeo. If you had a daughter or son, you would want them to get married to a ally. In Act IV Scenes II-V the parents have basically tried everything they could to make sure Juliet would not marry Romeo. So I personally think that Juliet's parents are just trying to keep her safe.

yes and no, because love is very very strong and even so strong that people will die or kill for it. Romeo and Juliet have a very special love relationship. But I do not agree that you should kill yourself or someone else because of love. This is basically stated in Act II Scene I-II. You should not want someone to loose their life, even if you can't stand them, they don't deserve to die.

I think the love relationship between Romeo and Juliet is definitely not shallow, but I think that it is very strong. They love each other very much from the very first time they laid eyes on each other. In act II scene II, lines 38-40, Juliet says " Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague". She is saying how bad it is that the only person she truly loves is her enemy. So in the end I think that the love that Romeo and Juliet have for each other is unbreakable.

Mercutio is a very supportive and open character in the play. She is trying to help Romeo, and she is always on his side. In act 1 scene 4 p.198-199, lines 55-95. Mercutio tries to show Romeo that he does not need to focus on his weaknesses, but that he needs to focus more on his strengths, she also is trying to veer him away from the idea of thinking too much about his dreams. Because she is stating  its about how the queen gallops. Mercutio is a very good friend to Romeo!!!

ACT I:

Act I, Scene I: (I am saying this in the nicest possible way when I say this) I feel like Romeo is a poor, sad, and helpless character who just wants to love, and also wants love in return. An example would be in act I scene I when Romeo gets sad because he wants love desperately. But then Benvolio had given him some advice to help him feel better, which was nice.
