Act 5
I think Romeo and Juliet are both heroes and fools. Their actions of suicide are quite foolish because the decisions to do so are very rash and don't have much thought put into them. However, these actions result in the end of the Capulet's and Montague's quarreling. In Act 5, Scene 3, lines 305-306, the Prince says ,"A glooming peace this morning with it brings. The sun for sorrow will not show his head." The Prince says this after Lord Montague and Lord Capulet have sworn peace. The Prince is making a very good summary of the situation with the words "glooming peace" because Romeo and Juliet have died/committed suicide, but it brought and end to the two families' fighting. Therefore, I think Romeo and Juliet are both fools and heroes because of their actions.
