The first thing that popped out to me about Romeo being a tragic hero and all is that Lord Capulet himself says that Romeo is a good guy and praises him when Tybalt comes up to him and says that Romeo is at the party( Act1.Scene 5.Lines 64-70). It wasn’t just Lord Capulet that praised him in the Capulet house though. The nurse also tells Romeo that he has a good heart when he was asking her to deliver a message from Juliet(Act 2. Scene 4. Lines 82-83). This just shows that Romeo is a well liked person through out Verona.
