Romeo’s reason for sadness is because; Rosaline his love will not
return his affections. When he meets Juliet, he instantly falls in
love. At the end of the play, he commits suicide, rather than live
without Juliet, the ultimate display of loyalty for his love Juliet
since his life obviously no longer had meaning without her.

The daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet, Juliet is
in love with Romeo. Although suicide is always a
negative choice, for Juliet it is a final
demonstration of the strength and commitment
of her love for Romeo.
Their love
