“Sometimes the road of life takes an unexpected turn and you have no choice but to follow it to end up in the place you are supposed to be.” Written anonymously. Romeo and Juliet is a timeless play written by the famous author William Shakespeare. Two young children end up dead because of their unconditional love for each other. In this case, Fate should be responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because of Romeo meeting Juliet at the Capulet party, Romeo banished from Verona, as well as Juliet drinking the potion to kill her. Even before Romeo and Juliet met, fate had already made plans for them. When they would meet, they would forget all about their past about who was a Montague and who was a Capulet, all they would focus on would be the love of each other. For example, “From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, A pair of star crossed lovers take their lives” (Prologue line 5,6). The prologue shows, Romeo and Juliet both are like stars. They have their own life and their own choices but something along the way made them cross paths thus beginning the count down to their death. The Capulet Party was the first place their stars crossed. This is important because, Fate had planned for both of their stars to meet here. Making Romeo forget about Rosaline and Juliet to forget about Paris. If it were not for fate, the star-crossed lovers would have never met which would mean Juliet would probably be married to Paris and Romeo would most likely not be able to forget Rosaline. Another Example to represent fate errors brought upon would be when , Romeo reads the guest list from the servant, who cannot read, “My fair niece Rosaline….” (Act I scene 2 line 69). This shows, if the illiterate servant had went to someone else besides Romeo, the Montigue would never have seen Rosaline would at party. Romeo risked his life to go to this rivals party for his So-called love Rosaline. This is important because, the guest list was sort of a beginning for the love of Romeo and Juliet. If the servant had went to another person, Romeo and Juliet would have never met at the party nor would they have fallen in love. This party lead to the Romeo finally meeting Lord Capulets daughter Juliet. If the servant had asked
“ We loved each other with a premature love,marked by fierceness that so often destroy adult lives?” ( Vladimir Nabokov, lolita) This quote can represent That Romeo and Juliet have a premature love that lead to bad consequences.

As Ruth Nevo states, “The plot of Romeo and Juliet stresses the accidental” (241). Their meeting emphasizes the role of fate in the book, which can be viewed in several other pieces of literature, and often inspires works such as High School Musical. The similarities between the two pieces start from the beginning, where the two teens meet: at a party. As Robert Smith put it, “In harmony with the prologue which tells us that Romeo and Juliet are to be revealed as ‘a pair of star-crossed lovers,’ we observe them repeatedly crying out against the accidents of Fortune.” (72) Fate begins by bringing Romeo and Benvolio the chance to go to a Capulet party when Peter asks them to translate the invitation and invites them to the party if they “be not of the house of Montagues.”
In ¨The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet¨,there seems to be the question of who seems most responsible for the deaths in Romeo and Juliet? I’ve come to the idea that it is the prince, Escalus who caused or atleast could’ve stopped these deaths from ever starting to unfold. He was so anonymous of every problem happening and never took charge of the situation until it concluded. He had to ask of benvolio”who began this bloody fray” when Mercutio and Tybalt were dead. He never had men prepared of any casualties that could happen or any men on patrol so no fight broke out in the first place.

Fate was the fundamental factor that led to the suicides of Romeo and Juliet. It is present throughout the entire play, setting the scene for the tragic events to take place.

Most of Shakespeare's plays are conceived around a foundation in either tragedy or comedy, this polarity of themes allowing him to experiment with the full range of human emotions. Typically, an integral part of a Shakespearean tragedy is love, which is frustrated by a breakdown in order, or the character of the hero, due to some human limitation. The play Romeo and Juliet has all these typical characteristics. However, the resultant conclusion of events for the characters in this tragedy is adversely affected by the hands of fate, and not solely the product of human limitations. Fate in fact has a decisive role in the events of the play; it is a series of rapid coincidental events, which lead to the final tragedy.
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.
If Capulet had sent a literate servant he would know that Romeo is a Montague and would not bother talking to him. Additionally, Romeo feels these premonitions just before he enters the party. He says “there is some consequence, yet hanging in the stars”, which means that he feels some bad is going to happen to him, an untimely death. Despite this he decides to go the party in which he meets Juliet. Overall, the destined events that occur prior to Romeo meeting Juliet are responsible for their tragic deaths.
