Although Romeo and Juliet are different characters, and both have different nuanced character traits, there are definite similarities between the two. When examined closely, these similarities can illuminate the overall text and its themes.
THREE CHARACTER TRAITS ROMEO AND JULIET SHARE:
IMPATIENCE - When Romeo and Juliet want something, they want it as soon as possible. This is demonstrated in their relationship. It takes only an act for Romeo and Juliet to be completely committed to the idea of marrying one another. It is speedy and impatient, but they wouldn't have it any other way.
IDEALISM - Romeo and Juliet are both prone to idealism. They idealize their love almost immediately, seeing it as a grand affair that is worth risking their lives over.
COMMITMENT - When Romeo and Juliet commit to an idea, they are completely obsessed with it. In this way, Romeo and Juliet both demonstrate a good deal of commitment as characters.
