Plotting a vertical line in a barplot

Question

I am having trouble doing something that seems to me straightforward.

My data is:

ROE_SP500_Q2_2018_quantile.to_json()

'{"index":{"0":0.0,"1":0.05,"2":0.1,"3":0.15,"4":0.2,"5":0.25,"6":0.3,"7":0.35,"8":0.4,"9":0.45,"10":0.5,"11":0.55,"12":0.6,"13":0.65,"14":0.7,"15":0.75,"16":0.8,"17":0.85,"18":0.9,"19":0.95},"ROE_Quantiles":{"0":-0.8931,"1":-0.0393,"2":0.00569,"3":0.03956,"4":0.05826,"5":0.075825,"6":0.09077,"7":0.10551,"8":0.12044,"9":0.14033,"10":0.15355,"11":0.17335,"12":0.1878,"13":0.209175,"14":0.2357,"15":0.27005,"16":0.3045,"17":0.3745,"18":0.46776,"19":0.73119}}'

My code for the plot is:

plt.close()
plt.figure(figsize=(14,8))
sns.barplot(x = 'Quantile', y = 'ROE', data = ROE_SP500_Q2_2018_quantile)
plt.vlines(x = 0.73, ymin = 0, ymax = 0.6, color = 'blue', size = 2)

plt.show()

which returns the following image:

I would like to correct the following problems:

a) The ticklabels which are overly crowded in a strange way I do not understand

b) The vline which appears in the wrong place. I am using the wrong argument to set the thickness of the line and I get an error.

Pass to parameter data DataFrame, check seaborn.barplot:

data : DataFrame, array, or list of arrays, optional

Dataset for plotting. If x and y are absent, this is interpreted as wide-form. Otherwise it is expected to be long-form.

sns.barplot(x = 'index', y = 'ROE_Quantiles', data = ROE_SP500_Q2_2018_quantile)
#TypeError: vlines() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'ymin' and 'ymax'
plt.vlines(x = 0.73, ymin = 0, ymax = 0.6, color = 'blue', linewidth=5)

j = '{"index":{"0":0.0,"1":0.05,"2":0.1,"3":0.15,"4":0.2,"5":0.25,"6":0.3,"7":0.35,"8":0.4,"9":0.45,"10":0.5,"11":0.55,"12":0.6,"13":0.65,"14":0.7,"15":0.75,"16":0.8,"17":0.85,"18":0.9,"19":0.95},"ROE_Quantiles":{"0":-0.8931,"1":-0.0393,"2":0.00569,"3":0.03956,"4":0.05826,"5":0.075825,"6":0.09077,"7":0.10551,"8":0.12044,"9":0.14033,"10":0.15355,"11":0.17335,"12":0.1878,"13":0.209175,"14":0.2357,"15":0.27005,"16":0.3045,"17":0.3745,"18":0.46776,"19":0.73119}}'
