Fate In Juliet's Romeo And Juliet

Fate was foreshadowed to be an antagonist in the play Romeo and Juliet; even before the play started; it was foreshadowed in the prologue that the “star-crossed lovers” were “death-marked”. Fate impedes the union of a happy marriage between Romeo and Juliet by throwing many barricades in their way. One such barrier is their lineage; because Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet, they are enemies by blood. Nevertheless, they

To start with, Romeo assisted to a party that he was uninvited, and held by their enemy. Romeo knew the consequences by going to this party, but he still decided to go. As he declares; “I fear too early, for my mind misgives/ Some consequence yet hanging in the stars/ Shall bitterly begin his fearful date/ With this night’s revels, and expire the term/ Of a despisèd life closed in my breast/ By some vile forfeit of untimely death. /But he that hath the steerage of my course,/ Direct my sail. On, lusty gentlemen (Act I, 4, l. 56).” By saying this words, Romeo expresses the feeling that he has about the future if he goes to the party, he knows that the party will be the start of something bad, something that will end with his own death. If Romeo did not go to the party that he was not supposed to go, he would not have met Juliet, and as result die.

Everyone wants to marry the love of their life. Seeking the approval of our family and friends, we all look ahead fondly at the idea of living a long and happy life with our soulmate. Unfortunately, in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet this is not the way life played out.

Their families hated each other and which made them want to love each other more and more. If fate didn’t want them together they would have never met at that party. Why would they fall in love and kill themselves, that’s why fate is part of their death. They hid from their families about them seeing each other or they would have been punished and their families would have killed each other until one family was left. They were willing to do anything to see each other. That is why fate, killed Romeo and Juliet.

Fate is a hidden, but unavoidable force that leads to certain consequences in people’s lives. The theme of fate plays a crucial role in the main characters of the play, Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet share a destiny that dooms them to tragic deaths immediately after the exchange of their zealous love. Despite their resolute attempts to challenge their destiny, the lovers still succumb to the inexorable powers of fate. In the Shakespearean play, Romeo and Juliet, the principle of fate propels the lovers together with infatuation, tears them apart through a bitter demise, yet, ensures peace in Verona for many future generations.

In the play, Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare, is about two “star crossed” lovers who are destined to end in a tragic accident. Fate is the path that leads to the future and cannot be altered no matter the outcome. Set in Shakespearean time, fate was believed to be in control of people’s lives. The fact that Romeo and Juliet would never live a peaceful life, none of the tragedies would have not taken place if they had not met. In the prologue of the play, Shakespeare outlines that “two star’d crossed lovers take their life”. This foreshadowing creates the sense that fate shall claim superiority. The powerful nature of Romeo

     In addition to reigning over their love lives, fate also causes the downfall of Romeo and Juliet. Near the end of the play, it appears Romeo and Juliet have a significant

Many people blame fate for the death of Romeo and Juliet. One reason being that Romeo and Juliet’s meeting at the party was determined by fate. However, Romeo went to the party because of love, and he wanted to see if he could find some else better than Rosaline. He saw Juliet and found a new love. Therefore, love is a stronger competitor than fate for their meeting. Moreover, another argument is that the prologue calls Romeo and Juliet “star-crossed lovers”, also known as lovers who are doomed because of outside forces (such as fate). While Romeo and Juliet may have had tough circumstances regarding their relationship, their doom was their own decision. They killed themselves in the name of love, not because of chance or

Do things happen for a reason or do our actions decide what happens? This is a question that everyone has asked or will ask in the future. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet there are two young star-crossed lovers that meet and fall in love. Romeo and Juliet begin to get split apart by forces that they can not control and end up each committing suicide because of the actions of the characters in this play. Fate is the cause of Romeo and Juliet’s tragic deaths.

William Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, has fate as an unexpected key force pulling the characters together. The minute that Romeo and Juliet see each other is the exact incident that lead to their death, however these “star crossed lovers” are that certainty. Romeo and Juliet did make choices that were rather ridiculous and not thought through. They also didn’t have guidance from their parents and they were destined to die. Consequently, destiny undoubted the most dependable impact for the couples appalling disaster.

In William Shakespeare’s iconic play, Romeo and Juliet, he uses many examples of fate and choices to lead to the star crossed lovers death, such as, events building into the lovers meeting, the lovers meeting, and the death of the lovers.. In Act 1 Scene one and two Shakespeare uses fate as building up to meet Juliet. Shakespeare uses Roseline as a “path” to show Romeo a way to Juliet (Act 1, Scene 1). Romeo was in love with Rosaline's beauty and Roseline was absolutely not having it. This is fate because Romeo needed a “distraction” and Juliet was that distraction.

At this point Romeo is aware he should not attend the party of his enemy yet he goes anyway. Romeo fears that this party will lead him to some consequence so he is extremely hesitant to accept the invitation from his friends to get over his most recent love Rosaline. Ultimately he chooses to attend in order to avoid the fate of feeling sorrowful over the loss of his Rosaline; he feels as if the attendance of the party will somehow bring him a gruesome and awfully timed death, which it does. This party is where Romeo makes eye-contact with Juliet for the first time, from that moment forward the pair tumbles into a turbulent path of death and destruction not only of themselves but the people around them. It is not a coincidence that the party that Romeo is extremely reluctant to attend ends up leading him to his death; fate inclines Romeo to attend this party and to commence this chain of events.

First off, Romeo decides to go the Capulet party and it is fate that they both collide during the dance. Romeo acts quickly to say yes to go to the party, with a little bit of convincing from Mercutio. This all leads up to Romeo meeting Juliet and causing them to build their forbidden love. Secondly, it is fate that the Capulet servant can’t read the guest list which gets Romeo into the party in the first place. The servant had said; “[…] and can never find what names the writing person hath her writ. I must to the learned” (2.3, 495). It is fate that the servant can’t read, causing Romeo to go to the party, which doesn’t end well since it is the opposing family’s party. Lastly, the most important fated event is the two family’s great hatred against one another. “From forth the fatal loins of these two foes a pair of star-crossed lovers take their life” (prologue, 485). It seems like it is fated that both lovers are from feuding families; the Capulets and The Montague families. The lovers act to fast when they first meet and they both end up falling in love, causing a great catastrophe. Fated events in “Romeo and Juliet” cause both to act quick, then later

At the party Romeo saw Juliet and fell instantly in love. He later then kissed her that night. Romeo and Juliet also happened to belong to two different families that hate each other. This is fate, because Romeo was not supposed to go to the party and he went to the party looking for Rosaline and not Juliet. It is also fate, because out of

In the book Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare, fate plays a large role in moving the plot along. It does this by bringing people together. Fate also plays a role in a couple people’s deaths, including the main characters, Romeo and Juliet.
