Romeo is young, but he definitely overreacts to the punishment he receives from the Prince. Banishment allowed him his life.... he was still alive and should have been grateful. This time away from his wife could have been remedied. She could have joined him, and they could have built a new life together. Romeo's immaturity leaves him unable to think clearly.... he is impetuous and foolish.
