Act 5

I think Romeo and Juliet are seen as heroes because of their motives and love for each other. In the beginning of the play, they were viewed as fools because why would a Montague love a Capulet. At the end of Act 5, Scene 3, lines 296-310, The Capulets and Montagues come together in grief of their children. In line 304, Capulet says, "Poor sacrifices of our enmity." He has said that Romeo and Juliet were brave enough to "sacrifice their love to end the feud".
