Famous star-crossed lover

Answer:

ROMEO

Hint:

This Shakespearean character pines for Juliet on a balcony and belongs to the Montague family.

Explanation:

This clue refers to Romeo from Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare’s tragic play about two young lovers from feuding families. The phrase "star-crossed" comes from the play’s opening lines, meaning their love was doomed by fate. Since Romeo is the more famous of the pair, his name fits as the answer. No wordplay here—just a direct nod to classic literature.
