In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet there are many instances in which
             choice and chance play a key part in what occurs in the play. If these chances
             were not taken or by chance did not occur maybe Romeo and Juliet would have

             star-crossed lovers? All of these choices were made and greatly impacted the
             Chance is the risk we take in judging what we think will be the right
             decision. Romeo took many chances throughout the play. Such as, when he
