Even though this loving couple tried to break free from their fate and destiny they still became puppets in their prewritten lives. Fate has been a major factor in the play from the very beginning. Fate was the reason that Lord Capulet sent a servant who could not read with a list of guests. Also, it was due to fate that Romeo first laid eyes on Juliet at the party. In addition to those, fate led Romeo to get thrown out of Verona. Furthermore, it was fate also, that kept Friar Laurence’s essential letter from reaching Romeo in Mantua. The scenes leading to the death scene in Capel’s tomb are also examples of fate.
It was the doings of fate that Lord Capulet sent an illiterate servant to invite people to his party. Out of all the people the servant could have run into in Verona, the servant ran into Romeo and Benvolio. Not only did fate lead him to them, but also he asked Romeo to read the list for him. “God gi’ go-den. I pray, sir, can you read?” (I.ii.59). And it just so happened that Rosaline was invited to this feast of Capulet’s. Romeo had decided that he should attend the party because Rosaline would be there. And at this party fate led Romeo’s eyes to Juliet.
At this party, it was the first time Romeo would
. . .
Villain am I none/ Therefore farewell. Without fate, I do not think that the play would be as moving as it was. Fate had also kept Friar John from delivering Friar Laurence’s letter to Romeo that, in its words, held vital information that Romeo had to know. So, fate led Romeo to ask for Juliet’s hand in marriage. / I saw her laid low in her kindred’s vault/ And presently took post to tell it to you. After the party, Romeo went back to the Capulet’s estate to speak with Juliet once more.
