Fate In Romeo And Juliet

Does your life belong to you or belong to fate? Is your will always what you want or not what you want it to be? “Romeo and Juliet” is a romantic, sad play and a novel written by William Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet suffer by the feud between their family and their love. Inside of their story is the controlling of fate and the sad end of love. Nothing changes no matter what they do, their fate still does not belong to them.
