Detailed explanation-1: -Romeo and Juliet is officially classified as a tragedy, but in some respects the play deviates from the tragic genre. Unlike other Shakespearean tragedies such as Macbeth, King Lear, and Julius Caesar, Romeo and Juliet is not concerned with a noble character whose actions have widespread consequence.
Detailed explanation-2: -Question: Why is Romeo and Juliet a tragedy? Answer: Very simply, Romeo and Juliet can be considered a tragedy because the protagonists-the young lovers-are faced with a momentous obstacle that results in a horrible and fatal conclusion. This is the structure of all Shakespeare’s tragedies.
Detailed explanation-3: -Romeo and Juliet is an early tragedy by William Shakespeare about two teenage star-crossed lovers. It ends with their suicides, uniting rival households of a long-running family feud. The play has been highly praised by literary critics for its language and dramatic effect.
Detailed explanation-4: -Of course it is. Young, innocent lovers die, through no fault of their own. But if it were not for the sombre Prologue, Romeo and Juliet would seem very much a comedy* until the unexpected, almost accidental death of Mercutio.
Detailed explanation-5: -In short, Romeo and Juliet were not the victims of destiny. Instead, the two stumbled into their own tragedy. Rather than suffering inevitable doom, they made fatal mistakes. The stars may shine above the events of this play, but that is not the true reason for the tragic outcome.
