Romeo And Juliet Fate

     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 Wins Again People might not believe in fate; they believe that whatever happens in their lives comes from the decisions that they make. Others, however, believe that events are fated and planned out for them; in other words, fate. Fate means something is going to happen without any notice or prior knowledge to the fact. The theme of fate plays a major role in William Shakespeare's play, The Tragedy Of 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.

The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, is one of William Shakespeare’s most famous plays, published in 1597. It is a story about how, “A pair of star-cross’d lovers [Romeo and Juliet] take their lives…/The fearful passage of their death-mark’d love…” (Prologue of Romeo and Juliet, 6-9) as they are forbidden to be together due to a long lasting and ongoing feud between the Montague and Capulet families. Their deaths are the results of many characters’ actions and fate, and there is not one distinctive person that can be blam¬ed for the young lovers’ deaths. Friar Lawrence is not to blame for these deaths as fate played a major role in their demise, he warned Romeo of his impulsive and unwise decision making, and his intentions were to abolish the ongoing feud between the two families. Further examination will prove that Friar Lawrence is innocent and his intensions were far from the passing of the two lovers.

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

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

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.

In the story Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the “star-crossed” lovers took their life in an unfortunate series of events. Romeo, Juliet, and Friar Lawrence were all involved with the death of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo was impetuous and did not try to find the cause of Juliet’s “death”. Friar Lawrence was also unknowing of the future, but still gave an extremely important message, one that would define life and death, into the someone else’s hands. Certain actions, such as finding out about the Capulet party was fate. Although many events were caused by the lovers’ immaturity and impulsiveness, fate was the major cause for their deaths.

The main characters of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet are well known as being star-crossed lovers. The role of fate is mentioned many times throughout the play. The tragedy has been performed many times for hundreds of years. Although the ending is tragic, it was preventable. Romeo and Juliet’s deaths were not the result of destiny, but of their own bad decisions.

Fate is the cause of inevitable outcomes destined to happen. In William Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, are impacted by the effects of fate. However, human factors caused by free will profoundly affect the tragedy of their love. Romeo and Juliet’s ill-fated lives made them destined to die due to fate. Although their death has been written by fate, Lord Capulet, Tybalt, and Friar Laurence have influenced their death in many ways.

Some believe that fate controls your life and what happens in it, others think that your decisions affect the outcome of your life. In the Shakespearian play “Romeo and Juliet”, two star crossed lovers from feuding families fall in love. Due to the actions they both take to pursue their love, they both end up dead along with other people. The deaths of Romeo and Juliet were not caused by fate but their own poor decisions.

William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet plays heavily on the ideas of fate, free will and luck, but the idea of fate is obviously the one that plays the biggest role. Many of the actions in the play can be shown as truly only being the character's destiny rather than their own choice, or free will. The play is categorized as a tragedy, which means that a cruel twist of fate or personal failure prevented the ‘heroic’ character from achieving what they fight for. In the beginning of Romeo and Juliet the narrator, also known as ‘Chorus’ in the script says, “From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life”.

If the Titanic did not bump into the iceberg, a tragedy could have been avoided. Why did Hitler get elected? Maybe then the holocaust could have been avoided. If a plane flight was cancelled on 9/11, we might have avoided the deaths of thousands. Why did Romeo meet Juliet in the first place? Could Tybalt and Mercutio's deaths been avoided? Last but not least, why did Juliet wake up in time to see dying Romeo? What exactly ties all events together? Fate.

An individual's destiny is controlled by one thing and that thing is fate. During a lifetime fate plays a role that many people won't recognize. One's destiny is always controlled by fate like in the story of Romeo and Juliet, situations that we face everyday and the way that other cultures see fate. Fate is always playing along.

Although Romeo killing himself was freewill, in “Romeo & Juliet” I agree that Romeo and Juliet are victims of fate due to their families hate for one another, Romeo's banishment, and Juliets timing to wake up,
