What role does fate play in Romeo and Juliet?

[candylover]

examples from the book please or quotes.

Book? It's not a book candy, its a play, have you read it, or better still, seen it at the theatre?
As for fate, do you mean it is fate that they fall in love? Fate that thay die?
Read it and draw your own conclusions.

I wish they had the internet when I was at school. We didn't even have computers.

^^ we just had slate and chalk.

I was going to mention that but I was being good. I left school in 1980 - seems like yesterday but it was a long time ago. So much has changed.

Computers didn't feature when I was at school Wolf, but we studied Shakespeare's plays, not books, grrr, I'm turning into a grumpy old woman!

for maths it was either fingers or the new invention "the abacus".

We used to scratch on the walls of the cave.....

When I look back so much has changed regarding technology - but humans are just as stupid, vicious and greedy, in fact things seem worse. A generalisation, but we have learned nothing in the 98 years since WW1.

oh sorry i meant fate that they died

[FredPuli43]

If they didn't die, what sort of play would you have? Would it be better? How would you end it otherwise?

It's a wonder that Hollywood hasn't made a film of it with a happy ending, just as Stalin insisted that Swan Lake ended happily in all productions in the USSR. It was not improved by his enthusiasm for not depressing the audience !

candy, this isn't the first time you've come on here for help with homework - surely you're not set a title without your form tutor giving you some advice about it?

[candylover]

[ojread2]

Is a link to 'let me google that for you' banned now?
Mine seems to have been pulled.

they were definetely pre destined

[jobsforall]

Id call it fate that they both died; i believe in that. You could argue that they followed their intuition
