What is admirable and flawed about Romeo in Romeo and Juliet?

Certainly, Romeo is a complex character.  I think that his
willingness to be so brazen with his emotions and feelings makes him an admirable
character.  In a setting where most men are one dimensional or driven by partisanship,
Romeo is the opposite.  Shakespeare's Verona are filled with men who are driven by
loyalties to party lines (Capulets or Montagues) or men who are tools of such divisions
(Tybalt or Mercutio).  I think that Romeo is one who allows his feelings to transcend
such distinctions with his pursuit of Juliet and his overall feelings that indicate
escape from Verona is the only viable option.  At the same time, I think that a case can
be made that this is the very source of his failures and his flaws.  His emotional
sensibility becomes the overriding and dominant force.  Simply put, his emotion adds
more to a situation that could use less of it.  Romeo lacks the judgment and clarity
that Juliet possesses.  Whereas she possesses the surmise that allows for thought and
rumination, he is the function aspect that simply responds.  While both suffer in the
politicized climate that is Verona, in the end, his failures are quite evident in how he
acts and carries himself.
