Fate Is To Blame For Romeo And Juliet's Death Essay

I do think that fate is to blame for the whole situation and caused the death of Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeahere tells us that Romeo and Juliet will die, and that their end is fated. “Star-crossed” means “opposed by the stars.” In Shakespeare's time, some people actually believed that the course of your life was determined by the motion and position of the stars. My 3 points of argument: 1. Fate leads to a lot of misunderstanding and horrible consequences. 2 Fate is the cause of Romeo and Juliet's death. No one is to blame because everything happens for a reason. It was fate that they fell in love and happened to be on rival sides of the family. 3 Fate brought the two together and Fate led them to their death because of the choices they made

Act 5 scene 3 page 116 “Go get thee hence, for I will not go away. What's here? A cup clos’d in my true love's hand? Poison I see hath been his timeless end.

If Romeo had not gone to the ball, then he would have never seen Juliet and never fallen in love with her, therefore none of the events would have happened. When Romeo goes to sneak into the Capulets home to see Juliet. He hides in the backyard as Juliet comes outside on the balcony and that is where Romeo overhears her talk about how she was madly in love with Romeo. Act 2 Scene 2 page 34 “O romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, Ill no longer be a Capulet” -Juliet. If Romeo had not gone to see Juliet then he would have never heard Juliet confessing her love. These examples show that fate was the one who brought the two together, if none of these events had happened then no one would have to suffer in the
