An Understanding of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

An Understanding of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

The dictionary's definition of fate is "the development of events

outside of a persons control predetermined by a supernatural power".

What is a Supernatural Power? Again the dictionary says "attributed to

some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature".

In other words fate means that it has already been decided, it is

inevitable. You can not do any thing to stop it. So in other words

choices out by themselves out of there own free will. Which affects

there lives and a person around them lives, but will ultimately lead

to there pre-determined fate. People inflict their own wounds during

struggles and fight because of the choices that they make. This

applies a lot in Romeo and Juliet and plays a major role in their

lives. For example

"A pair of star crossed lovers"

From the Prologue line 6.

When they both met for the first time and talked with passion about

Romeo being a pilgrim and Juliet being a saint, they were already in

love with one another.

Romeo: "If I profane with my unworthiness hand this holy shrine, a

gentle sin is this, my lips, to blushing pilgrims, ready stand to

smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss."

Juliet: "Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, with mannerly

devotion shows in this, for saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do

touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss"

The way they talk about each other as if they were soul mates is

amazing. They call each other pilgrims and saints; it makes them sound
