Fate plays a big part in the whole love and death perspective. Right from the start of the play we know that the love between Romeo & Juliet would end in death even the stars were plotted against them. “A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life.” (Prologue.6). Fate might have been trying to end the battle been the Montagues and the Capulets by taking their most prized possessions, their children. “The fearful passage of their death marked love.”(Prologue.9) Both of these quotes tell us from the beginning that the love of these two young adults was destined to end in death. It was fate that Romeo was pardoned at the party by Old Capulet when Tybalt overheard him talking. If there would have been a fight, Romeo would never have danced with and kissed Juliet, which instantly lead to them falling deeply in love and over a short period of time to them secretly married. Shakespeare is implying that love leads to destruction.
