Romeo (passionate, impulsive)

of noble parentage"

after Juliet's 'death'

- When he was killed, Paris was only
trying to bring justice to Romeo

for Juliet's grief induced death
- Romeo calls Paris "noble county
Paris" and "good gentle youth"

and makes the audience sympathise with Paris

"keep this holy kiss"

calling Juliet a saint

wives and be married young (traditional)
