a flawed hero

In Act V, scene iii (the tomb scene) Romeo shows the classic tragic-hero traits: noble and sympathetic but led to disaster by his fatal flaws (impulsiveness, haste, intense passion, misjudgment). His decisions — killing Paris, taking poison without verifying Juliet’s death, and suiciding — drive the tragic ending.
