Free Will in Romeo and Juliet An individual has the right to choose whatever path they want to pursue freely. Every action will have a consequence.

The play Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is one of the greatest and well-known love stories of all time. This story follows two star-crossed lovers and their families opposition against each other, which leads to devastating consequences. They choose love over what is expected of them. Their choice to rebel ultimately leads to love so strong that results in death. Romeo and Juliet’s decisions were formed by their own free will.
Have you ever wondered if you truly had control over your own actions? Fate is the predetermined events in a person’s life. Free will if the actions that a person takes. Fate and free will are both expressed throughout Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. In the play, there are multiple factors that could have led to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, some of which were caused by fate and some of which were caused by free will.
Death, tragedy, and fate are just some of the themes in the play “Romeo and Juliet”, by William Shakespear, but were the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet really fate? No, Romeo and Juliet deaths were not caused by fate. Their deaths were caused by their own free-will, shown by Romeo’s rash decision making, Friar Lawrence's poor planning, and Juliets bad decisions. Romeo’s rash decision making is a reason for his and Juliet's deaths. This is shown after Tybalt kills Mercutio and, “Romeo kills Tybalt for revenge (3.1.88-142).”
Many have debated between whether the tragedy in “Romeo and Juliet,” by Shakespeare was a result of fate or of freewill. Some argue that the stars were aligned against them from the beginning, while others say that the actions of some characters were to blame. Mercutio, Capulet, and Friar Lawrence were some key characters that would make their actions affect the ending result of Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. In the beginning, the death of Mercutio and Tybalt’s death had made such a huge impact on the newly wed characters.

Since the beginning of time there have always been conflict, destroying countries, groups of people, and even families. In Romeo and Juliet we witness conflict destroy the ability of the young couple to be together, or even be openly with one another. The Montague and Capulet feud is a long standing rivalry between the two head of houses present throughout the play. The two lovers avoid the strife to become newly married in complete secrecy. Also, Romeo’s inability to oversee his own future leads to distorted choices made when it comes to love.
Fate Versus Freewill Most people will ask the question after reading the play The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare and the poem ¨Pyramus and Thisbe¨ by Ovid are these lovers stories impacted greater by unkind fate or just plain personal choice. Both of these stories focus on two young lovers who are forbidden to meet by their families and decide to break the rules in order to be together, however this reckless rule breaking eventually leads to both couples untimely deaths. The stories of Romeo and Juliet as well as “Pyramus and Thisbe” were impacted greater by unwise personal choices rather than fate.

In Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," the concepts of fate and free will are intertwined, creating a complex and thought-provoking exploration of how much control individuals have over their lives. Fate is often portrayed as a predetermined outcome that cannot be changed, while free will is the ability to make choices and take actions that can influence the outcome of events. In the Elizabethan era in which the play was written, many people believed in the power of fate and the influence of the stars and Greek gods on individuals' lives but also held the belief that individuals could make choices and shape their destinies. The play explores the theme of fate and free will through the ill-fated love story of Romeo and Juliet, two young lovers from feuding families who are drawn together despite their
Fate and destiny are widely used in literature, even if it is subtle. They are often used as plot devices to further the development of a character or as an excuse/justification for the character’s decisions. In Shakespeare’s famous play Romeo and Juliet, the main protagonist’s decisions are often justified by their belief in fate. After Romeo duels Tybalt, and ultimately kills him, Romeo defensively proclaims that he is “fortune’s fool” (Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet PG #). By claiming that he is just a fool under fortune’s intentions, Romeo is basically telling the audience that he is not responsible for the death of Tybalt even though Romeo’s decisions ended Tybalt’s life.
Romeo and Juliet was written by William Shackespear in the 1600s. The play is about two star-crossed lovers that belong to the families Capulet and Montaque in Verona Italy. Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love at a party. As star-crossed lovers the author is trying to tell us that everything they do is caused by fate but, no matter what they do they are doomed. Free will and their choices have little to do with their fate.
I think that in the beginning when Romeo and Juliet saw each other for the first time they just fell in love with each other, “love at first sight”. In my own opinion, they’re destined for each other. But at the same time, I think fate took them there because they were destined for each other. If Mercutio hadn't taken Romeo to the party, then I wouldn't have thought that Juliet would’ve met Romeo. I think that it was their decisions that led them to death because when Tybalt and Romeo fought, Juliet thought that Romeo died and she said that he just wanted to get closer to her just to get to Tybalt to kill him.
Someone who was born into a poor family, and someone who was born into a rich family. Their lives are different because the person who was born into a rich family is eligible to do more things. Some people may think that they live by themselves/free will, but in reality, they are controlled by fate, but it is obvious that in the play William Shakespeare “Romeo and Juliet” their cause is by fate because other people made their choices, not them having control over their life choices. Firstly, in medieval times marriage was considered by wealth and their role in the kingdom.
Throughout everyone's life, decisions are made using free will. But in the end, fate is what determines the outcome of everything. In the book Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, there are decisions made by the characters using their free will, but no decisions could’ve stopped the tragedy of there love. All of the events leading up to Romeo and Juliet's death were not caused by free will, but they were caused by fate.
