5. He faces a major challenge or conflict.

6. He is one of the main characters in the play.

All of the statements are true about Romeo, but only two of them make him the protagonist of the play. The protagonist is the main character or who the plot of the story is about. Romeo and Juliet are both protagonists in the play because they are who the plot revolves around. You can also include "he faces a major challenge or conflict", because the protagonist is the one who is most involved with the major conflict of the story. The other statements do not fit the definition of the prologue, and while they are true, do not make him the protagonist. Think about it. Statements 1, 2, and 3 could also apply to Tybalt, but he is not a protagonist. Paris thinks he is involved in a dramatic romance, but he is also not a protagonist. Only Romeo and Juliet face a major challenge or conflict, and only they are main characters in the play.
