Detailed explanation-1: -Romeo and Juliet is a form of love sonnet that is to be acted out on stage. Although it is clear that tragedy is one of the themes in Romeo and Juliet but the main formality of the play is romantic tragedy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Apart from the early Titus Andronicus, the only other play that Shakespeare wrote prior to 1599 that is classified as a tragedy is Romeo and Juliet (c. 1594–96), which is quite untypical of the tragedies that are to follow.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
