Romeo and Juliet
Fate is something that many debate whether or not it truly exists. Many doubt that their future is already chosen for them, thinking that their own personal decisions create their destiny. However, others believe whatever happens is laid out like a roadmap to life, in other words, fate. Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, plays an extremely important role in the characters development. Fate becomes an extremely exciting aspect that manages to bond two young lovers. The moment that the two "star-crossed lovers" met is the incident that foreshadows and leads to their deaths. The play is built on the concept of fate from the first moment to the catastrophic end. It is simply a twist of fate that causes Romeo and Juliet meet in the first place. Romeo started expressing all his feelings to his cousin Benvolio, about the one he thought was his one and only true love, Rosaline. Romeo did not receive any feelings back from Rosaline. While Romeo was in the midst of rambling on about his feelings, one of the Capulets servants came up to Romeo to ask him to read something. The servant said " God gi'god-den. I pray, sir, can you read?"(Shakespeare, I, ii, 57). Romeo read it out loud for the servant but the part that he was most inte
Romeo sees his servant arrive and asks how doth his lady. Not only do Romeo and Juliet foreshadow their death, but also the words spoken by all around them shows of their tragic ending. " (I, ii, 70) The servant invited Romeo and Benvolio to come to the Capulets party under one circumstance, if they were not Montague's. He spotted a beautiful girl from across the room and fell in love instantly. Friar Lawrence did have some advice for Romeo, " Wisely and slow, they stumble that run fast" (II, iii, 94). Juliet pleads:" Is there no pity sitting in the clouds That sees into the bottom of my grief? O sweet my mother, cast me not away! Delay this marriage for a month, a week, Or if you do not, make the bridal bed In that dim monument where Tybalt lies. Friar Lawrence sent Romeo a letter telling him the plan and to come and get Juliet in the afternoon when she wakes. " (III, i, 182-193)Romeo was banished that evening, to Mantua, but before he left he went to see his wife Juliet one last time. Romeo jumps in front of Mercutio, which leads the sword of Tybalt to go into Mercutio's side. " A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;/ Do with their death bury their parents strife. The only plan he can think of is giving her the poisonous potion, which if she drinks, will make her seem dead for 24 hours. Go hence to have more talk of these sad things; Some shall be pardon's, and some punished: For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo" (IV, iii, 305-310). Let Romeo hence in haste, Else, when he is found, that hour is his last. He could not believe his eyes that his one and only true love was dead so he drank the poison and killed himself. Romeo witnesses his friend being slain by his wife's kinsman.
