Romeo and Juliet fall into the category of tragedy this is because due to misfortune events that happened led to both dying by the end of the play. And anyways Shakespeare has 3 genres of players comedy, history and tragedy. There are many reasons why it is a tragedy. The tragic ending of the story could be avoided if people reacted to others appropriately and thoughtfully. If the Montague and the Capulet were not enemies, the incidents, banishment of Romeo and deaths of five young people can be prevented.
