Is Fate To Blame In Romeo And Juliet?

Fate causes Romeo to be at the right place at the right time. If he does not walk near the Capulet’s house or if the servant is able to read, Romeo does not attend the party, thus he does not meet Juliet. After Romeo attends the party, fate strikes again as he stumbles into the Capulet’s orchard while trying to escape his friends. Juliet, after meeting Romeo mere hours before, emerges onto her balcony and, unaware that Romeo can hear her, proclaims her love for Romeo:

Romeo and Juliet who were “star cross’d lovers “, meaning that the two were chosen by fate to be together. Even though they were chosen by the stars, Shakespeare says that they were “death mark’d”, implying that the only way to preserve their love was in the afterlife. Many tragedies that occurred were intended to happen, for instance, when Tybalt was killed by Romeo. Shakespeare creates the character Tybalt to refer to him as “Fortunes fool”, thus meaning he is merely just a puppet being toyed by fate. But before anyone was massacred, fate already had arranged Romeo and Juliet’s marriage to go downhill when Lord Capulet decided for Juliet to marry Paris.

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

Romeo and Juliet, the famous story of two star crossed lovers whose love and death couldn’t be prevented. Is fate really portrayed here? Or is someone in the play to blame?

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.

Are our fates predetermined? The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the Shakespearean tragedy, follows the life of the two star-crossed lovers whose fates were sealed by the stars. It is evident that Romeo and Juliet have a predetermined destiny. This is apparent from the beginning, with the first instance within the prologue where the chorus foreshadows Romeo and Juliet’s death and the ending of their parents’ feud.

Two lovers, whose death brought both misery and peace, take part in a long-lasting feud between two families. Although blame could be assigned to everyone, four people and fate are the most accountable for blame. Fate has destined both Romeo and Juliet to take their lives and bring new mutiny, but will ultimately end an ancient grudge between two dignified families. Both Romeo and Juliet are to blame for being impulsive, reckless, and for acting like “normal” teenagers. The Capulet parents are also appointed blame for not providing support, choosing honor over Juliet, and pushing a marriage onto their daughter.

The meeting between the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, was predestined, as a series of coincidental events took place for the meeting to occur. For example, when Romeo and Benvolio walk into the Capulet servingman, the servingman mentions "My master is the great rich Capulet, and, if you be not of the house of Montagues, I pray come and crush a cup of wine" (I. ii. 86-88). It is by fate that Romeo and Benvolio run into the Capulet serving man and discover the party. It is not just a simple accident that the serving man tells the two cousins about the party at which Romeo is destined, yet unaware, that he will meet his love. This was a predetermined meeting for both Romeo and Juliet, which if had not occurred, they would be alive. Furthermore, before Romeo attends the Capulet party, he says, "Some consequence yet hanging in the stars

“The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” This quote from the poem To a Mouse by Robert Burns is iconic and truthful. The quote is trying to tell the reader, that even when someone has the most intricate, well thought out plan possible, anything can still go wrong. A perfect example of this occurs in the classic play Romeo and Juliet; two teenagers struck by Cupid’s arrow are forbidden to be together due to a family feud. The love these two teenagers have for one another is so strong they demand to be together and develop an incredibly sophisticated plan to do so. In this heart-wrenching Shakespearean play, Romeo and Juliet’s plan does indeed “go awry” and fate is to blame for the death of these two young lovers.

Assuming you’re either a ninth grader or a ninth grade English teacher, you’ve probably read Romeo and Juliet. Since you read that, you know of all of the stuff that went down during the play. But, whose fault was it? Fate. It was fate’s fault the whole time. I know, it sounds silly, but hear me out. Fate, by definition, is the development of events beyond a person's control. Many examples of this is found throughout Shakespeare’s work. The protagonists come from families that have been feuding for many many years. A chance encounter at Juliet’s debutante ball. Additionally, both main characters were only matured to the age of 14 and 15. Outside forces, such as community spread disease, thwarted efforts of allies. You will see, from the

The Friar’s solitary reason for agreeing to the marriage was for the hope of ending the hateful feud between the Montagues and Capulets, but it is evident that Romeo and Juliet franticly sought after a relationship, despite their immense dissimilarities. Others might argue that fate was the star theme of Romeo and Juliet. Although, the transience of the plot verifies that without any rapid acts of desperation, it would be nothing more than a cliché love story; eliminating any disastrous outcomes. All things considered, Romeo allowed his radical choices to be influenced by his own

Romeo, Juliet, and fate are to blame because Romeo is gets depressed easily, he is emotional and not realistic. Juliet is to blame for the reason of being reasonable in the beginning of the story, then towards the end, she becomes very unreasonable. And fate is to blame because the plague was going around when the messengers were supposed to deliver the message to Romeo. This shows how Shakespeare is trying to say fate can't be changed by incorporating these things into the story that prevent Romeo and Juliet to be together.

From the beginning of the play, Shakespeare warns the audience that fate is working against Romeo and Juliet and their love is doomed. It was fate that Romeo went to the Capulet party to see another girl, but fell in love with Juliet, especially since they are from two rival families and Romeo wasn’t welcome. By trying to be together, Romeo and Juliet fulfill their fate by tragically dying when all of their efforts failed and there was nothing they could do to avoid it.

Nevertheless, Romeo and Juliet's actions were at fault for their own deaths. By no means did fate take any part in the play of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo agreed to attend the ball, despite the dream of dying afterward due to going to the event (Romeo and Juliet, 1.4.110). Many say the encounter of Juliet and Romeo was caused by fate. Yet he was the one who decided to overlook the warnings he received, because of that choice he ended up approaching her.

The theme of influence of fate can be found in both Romeo and juliet and in my novel The Statistical Probability of Love at First sight, in many ways. This theme can be found in Romeo and Juliet when Romeo goes to the capulet party and meets juliet there… It is love at first sight when they meet and the more he talks to juliet he instantly falls in love with her. I see this as a good example of influence of fate because before, Romeo wasn't planning on going to the party at all because he was still hungover on the thought of Rosaline, but mercutio ends up convincing him to go to see if he can get his mind off of her and find someone new. Also going along this same line of love at first sight in my novel, hadley and oliver meet each other in the airport after hadley realizes that she has missed her flight by four
