Romeo and Juliet - tragedy of destiny?

[juicy]

Is it ok to use Freud's term or is it not strictly correct? Thanks

if you take a freudian approach to reading Romeo and Juliet then its prettey accurate statement!

there was too much outside interference in the unfolding of events for it to be considered destiny. if the priest hadn't made those mistakes then the plan would have worked, it was a tragedy but not because of destiny, because of prejudice, hatred and lack of tolerence.

You are right that there was a lot of interference but it can still be argued that it was destiny, if you believe in that sort of think. It can be said that the priest was fated to make that mistake and the lovers were said to be 'star-crossed' after all!
