Essay on the role fate in the deaths of Romeo & Juliet.  

Fate has a big role in Romeo and Juliet.                                                                                                             “Romeo and Juliet” was written in 1596 during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. It is considered to be one of the world’s greatest love stories. At the time of Shakespeare most people strongly believed in fate and thought it controlled one’s life.

In the beginning of the play, Shakespeare tells us of the tragic end of Romeo and Juliet. This is the most obvious use of fate. Romeo and Juliet are” star-crossed lovers” and “death-marked lovers” the sense of fate fits into the play, not only for the audience. Romeo and Juliet are also very much aware of it and they have no control over it.
