Fate In Romeo And Juliet

In Shakespearse’s classic play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the two star-crossed lovers created one of the most notorious tragedies known to man. Romeo and Juliet met as an act of a single force known as fate. Fate is the idea used to describe a circumstance when it is meant to happen; fate is the living body responsible for controlling everything, except the decisions you personally make.

     Fate, for better or worse, interrupts everyone’s daily life, whether he/she chooses to acknowledge it or not. Thinking about fate conjures up different feelings for different people; some people believe strongly in it, some people think of fate as ridiculous, and some do not care one way or the other. However, in many instances, such as in William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, far too many coincidences occur to be strictly coincidental. Fate creates a powerful effect throughout the entire play, starting in the prologue, continuing as Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love, and tragically ending in the lovers’ deaths.

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 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.

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

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

In William Shakespeare’s play, “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet”, fate plays one of the largest roles in the plot. In order to understand how fate plays a role it is important to examine how the story begins, when Romeo meets Juliet, and when Romeo fights Tybalt after Tybalt kills Mercutio.

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.

Fate is defined as, ‘the development of events outside a person’s control, regarded as predetermined by a supernatural power’. In the time in which ‘Romeo and Juliet’ was written, many people were strong believers of fate and it was a common belief in society. William Shakespeare was a famous poet who is recognised for his powerful writing and contribution to the English language. One of William Shakespeare’s highly recognised plays is ‘Romeo and Juliet’ written in the late 1500’s. It is a play about two star-crossed lovers alongside fate who by their death end the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets. In ‘Romeo and Juliet’, Friar Laurence is not to blame for the tragic events which occurs in the play due to the fact that other

Finally, fate had a big impact on the future of Romeo and Juliet and was the

Fate is a powerful thing, people see have fate in many movies such as Final Destination, where death is unstoppable. Every decision and action made by the characters can be fated by the universe. William Shakespeare clearly shows fate in this play Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare uses foreshadowing to illustrate the idea of predetermined death. Others may say that the feud and Paris are responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet but it’s clear that fate is responsible.

Fate is used right from the start. The prologue reveals that “do with their death bury their parents' strife.” (Act 1, Scene 1, Line 8) At the beginning of the tragedy it indicates that with all the events that occur the deaths of Romeo and Juliet will end their parents’ feud. Throughout the play fate is used of several levels.

Fate is a series of events destined to occur without anyone’s control. This means that a person has no control of their life. With fate dictating one’s destiny, some may say that it plays a large role in life, and this theme is prominent in “Romeo and Juliet.” In this play, fate plays a major role because without fate, the story of the play would not have happened as demonstrated by Romeo and Juliet’s meeting, fate is against them being together, and fate leading them to their tragic end. First, an event that would not have happened without fate is the first time Romeo and Juliet meet.

Fate is a concept many people believe is set right when you are born. In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet he talks a lot about the concept of fate. My essay is about how significant events have no effect on a person’s fate. In the prologue it states this “ A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life,” (Prologue, Line 6). That is now telling us no matter what happens in their lives, they will die to end the fued between the Montagues and the Capulets.

Fate is the concept of predetermined events and timing, a key influence from this idea, is what causes multiple situations to erupt in a plot. The sequence of events that is instigated by time can be arranged countless of ways, and each order provides a different ending to the storyline. Time is a primary component to a number of stories, especially in Shakespeare’s acclaimed play, Romeo and Juliet, where a destined couple is brought together and torn apart by unavoidable circumstances. In the tragedy Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare alludes to the inevitable, tragic fate of the star-crossed lovers through the consequences of precise timing and unfortunate, chance encounters during the drama. Consequently to the impeccable timing of events
