The Theme of Fate in 'Romeo and Juliet'

[@mujz9608]

The quotations that best sum up the theme of fate in Rome and Juliet are 'a pair of star-cross'd lover take their lives' and 'I defy you stars' because the audience was foreshadowed the tragic events of the future, whilst the characters in the play had no idea of this, creating dramatic irony. Romeo exclaims 'I defy you stars' after finding out about Juliet's 'death', from Balthasar, making it seem that it was the stars (his fate) that determined this to happen.

THANK YOU, u dont understand how much this helped with my essay and the way u explained everything was just perfect man appreciate it

[@francesca_dogs]

Brilliant video! Thank you so much. One point that I thought would be interesting but wasn't mentioned, is that fate is something that the characters continually use to alleviate themselves from responsibility. I think that can be seen in many of the quotations you so wisely picked e.g "o' I am fortune's fool!" where it can be argued that Romeo's excessive passion and fickle behaviour was debatably the genesis of this tragic outcome. Might not be right but thought it was interesting :)

[@Todripe1]

I think it's the quotation "a pair of star crossed lovers" cz it foreshadows from the genesis that this fate will happen without planned

Thank you so much for this video! Do you have any intention on making a video for conflict/ violence theme?

Hi this video is amazing but how would I start of an essay off like the first line to talk about fate?

[@alexjorga6412]

i reckon the plague goes back to mercutio's 'a plague on both your houses' in A3S1 before he dies
