As an embodiment of passion and self-sacrifice, the characters of Romeo and Juliet are timeless reminders of eternal nature of love. In the individual representation of Romeo, MacDonald highlights the figure's impassioned attempt to hold on to the form of Juliet. As she slips away, Romeo’s facial expression of intense anguish and mourning is apparent and lends powerful psychological gravity to this piece.
