Everyone is fated to die, both you and me as well. Some are fated to die in love and/or hate, just like the story or Romeo and Juliet. Fate was the single cause of their deaths and was also the resolve of the feud transpiring through out the story. The events and their timing that occurred were all executed and timed by Fate; every event is connected together, from Rosaline rejecting Romeo to Tybalt being killed by Romeo, to Juliet killing herself after seeing Romeo’s dead body. Both Romeo and Juliet were born into feuding families and were fated to suffer and resolve the fated consequences for the ancestors feud.”
