Title: Romeo is the heir to the Montague family of Verona.
Description and summary of his role in Romeo & Juliet:
In the beginning, Romeo pines for an unrequited love, Rosaline. To cheer him up, his cousin Benvolio and best friend Mercutio lead him out disguise where he meets and falls in love with his rivalry family The Capulet's daughter,Juliet Capulet. Later that night, he and Juliet meet secretly, despite their families long standing feud. They marry the following day, but their union is soon thrown into chaos by their families; Juliet's cousin Tybalt duels and kills Romeo's friend Mercutio, throwing Romeo into such a rage that he kills Tybalt, and the the prince of Verona subsequently banishes him. Meanwhile, Juliet's father plans to send her off to Paris, a local aristocrat, within the next few days, threatening to turn her out on the streets if she doesn't follow through the marriage her mother and father want. Desperate, Juliet begs Romeo's confident, Friar Lawrence, to help her escape the forced marriage. Friar Lawrence does so by giving her a potion tant puts her in a death-like coma. The plan works, but too soon for Romeo to learn of it; He genuinely believes Juliet to be dead, and so resolves to commit suicide. He kills himself at Juliet's grave, moments before she awakes; she kills herself in turn shortly there after.
