Romeo is characterized by his succumbing to his impulses. His behavior in Juliet's balcony is a reflection of his reckless personality. The enmity between the Capulets and the Montagues is well known and the fact that his own life is in risk appears to be of little importance for the young lover. He even states that his life "were better ended by their hate" than living without her love. Romeo's diction is an indication of his being passionate and impulsive.
