Is there catharsis in Romeo and Juliet?

Yes, there is Catharsis in Romeo and Juliet. Catharsis is defined as emotional release that follows fear and pity in a play. In Romeo and Juliet the play comes to a tragic end with the double suicide of both Romeo and Juliet, as well as the many deaths that happened earlier within both families. After Romeo and Juliet comes to an end the audience has strong emotions that need to be cleansed or purged: in this play the catharsis happens when the Montagues and the Capulets finally come together and forget their conflicts after the deaths of their children.
