Romeo and Julliet

             "From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
             A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;"
             I don't agree with the quotation above because I think the tragic
             deaths of both Romeo and Juliet are caused by human decision. It is an
             indirect result of the decisions and actions of several characters. For
             example, Romeo decides to go to Capulet's party where he meets Juliet.
             Later on, Romeo and Juliet decide to get married which is another wrong
             decision in the story. Moreover, Friar Laurence agrees to marry the two
             secretly which is also a cause for their deaths. In this essay we will
             discuss how the deaths of both Romeo and Juliet are caused by the poor
             decisions of each of the above characters. When Romeo decides to go to
             the Capulet's party, he has already set the stage for his death. If he
             didn't go to the party, he wouldn't meet Juliet and the whole story
             would never happen. You may argue that it is fate for Romeo to meet the
             servant who let him know about the party. However, Romeo still holds
             the final decision. He may decide not to go! Moreover, on the way he
             goes to Capulet's party, he suddenly feels that he will die young as a
             result of attending the party. He has the ill omen but he still
             decides to attend the party. Therefore it is caused by human decision
             which leads to the deaths of the lovers Romeo and Juliet. When Romeo
             and Juliet decide to get married, they too are bringing their suicides
             closer to being reality. They each fall in love with the looks of the
             other. It is love at first sight. They both know that neither of their
             families will accept that they love someone from the other family.
             However they still decide to marry secretly. Obviously it is another
             wrong human decision. It is clear for them to see how impossible their
             love is. If they could be more clear-headed, they would think about it
             carefully and wouldn't decide to fall in love. Their impetuous
