Free Will In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet
Fate is an idea some people think controls what living things do. That is false unless fate is the author or writer of a book. Everyone is given a chance to just get back on the right track or drift away from the wrong doings. The right thing to do is take that chance. It is rare to become successful or accomplish a great well-being from doing the wrong acts. To get the point across, only the person making the choices and decisions can control their movement. Everything a person does is not decided by fate, but by the individuality of a person and how they portray themselves. In this scenario, Romeo and Juliet are both completely responsible for their acts because they could have turned away from moments that was or were about to happen to them and the fact that these two love birds were impulsive. …show more content…
As Romeo quoted, “I fear too early…of untimely death” (I. iv. 106-111). Romeo just predicted the end of his life, and even though Romeo predicted his own death, he kept on going to the Capulet party. “I am fortunes fool” (III. i. 119). Now Romeo is blaming fate for killing Tybalt. Although Tybalt killed Romeo’s dearest friend Mercutio, both of them could have just walked away instead of this bloody mess. For all the bad things that happened to Romeo and Juliet, it is possible that fate did step in, but it is more likely that their actions were uncontrollable due to this love affair. All these events that happened to Romeo and Juliet are clearly their fault. If they walked away, their lives would have been a lot better, yet they did

    Fate is the most to blame for Romeo’s and Juliet’s deaths because they were bound to fall in love with one another. According to the text, it states “From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, / Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. / From forth the fatal loins of these two foes / A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life;” (Doc. A) This quote explains how the both families’ children were fated to fall in love and because of Fate, their encounter could not have been avoided. Ultimately in the end, since Romeo had assumed Juliet was dead, he took his own life just as Juliet woke up and came to her senses. Witnessing Romeo’s death and wanting to be with him, Juliet takes hers. Another example, states “Do with their death bury their parents’ strife. / The fearful passage of their death-mark’d love, / And the continuance of their parents’ rage, / Which, but their children’s end, nought could remove, ...” (Doc. A) This evidence shows how with Romeo and Juliet’s deaths, it will end their parents’ strife and rage. In other words, their deaths will end the Montagues’ and the Capulets’ long-fought…

    Throughout the play Romeo made many personal choices that led his life to end as it did. The first choice he made was to go to a part he was not invited to. “ But he that hath the steerage of my course! Direct my sail”(pg.200). Romeo is persuaded to go to a party he didn’t want to go to because he knew he wasn’t invited. Romeo could have stayed home and not went to the party but he made the choice to follow is friends in. The main choice that ended Romeo’s life was when he bought a potion to kill himself. “Come, cordial and not poison, go with me to juliet’s gravel; for there must i use thee”. Romeo is told Juliet is dead and decides to by a poison to kill himself . This choice is what ended Romeo’s life, fate had no such say in his life ending.…

    Fate is partially to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because the Friar’s plan was ruined due to unpreventable circumstances. In the very first lines of the play the prologue establishes that Romeo and Juliet’s love opposed fate. They are called, “star-cross’d lovers” (Doc A) who possess a, “death-mark’d love” (Doc A). This indicates that their love went against the stars and their relationship was doomed from the start. Even before Romeo was banished, Romeo and Juliet were marked for death. Then, the Friar's plan was disrupted by an unstoppable force, fate. Friar Lawrence tells Juliet when she awakes, “A greater power than we can contradict hath thwarted our intents” (Doc E). Fate had intervened and caused the lovers' downfall. No…

    In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet are victims of free will because their decisions lead to their ultimate death. Several times throughout the play either Romeo or Juliet’s decisions leads them farther and farther apart. Firstly, after Capulet’s ball, Tybalt fights Murcutio and Romeo decides to intervene in the fight. This leads to Tybalt stabbing Murcutio and Romeo taking revenge by killing Tybalt. After this incident, the Prince declares “Let Romeo hence in haste, / Else when he is found, that hour is his last” (3.1.204-205). This incident turns the plot of the whole story because it tears Romeo and Juliet’s dreams apart. On the other hand, after hours of grieving for Romeo, Juliet asks the Friar to clean up her…

    Fate and the family feud are what should be blamed for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. Some people blame Tybalt because he started the fight that got Romeo banished in the first place. They are wrong because it was the feud that caused him to hate the Montagues and fate him to start the fight. If the families did not have a feud then Tybalt would have not hated the Montagues and because of that he…

    A lot of people say fate and the long-standing family feud is to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s death because of the saying “everything happens for a reason, we may not know the reason now but we will in time.” Some think because of Romeo and Juliet killed them selves even though its tragic also brought some good into it by the family’s coming together in the end, but I have reason to believe that is wrong, yes, fate could have played a small roll in all of this but, if that letter would have made it to Romeo neither on of them would have died and friar was the one who was supposed to deliver the letter to Romeo.…

    The famous author Lemony Snicket once said, “Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don't always like.” I blame fate for Romeo and Juliet’s death because I believe fate is the thing that controls everything and cannot be changed or altered, it is what it is. Everyone has an end at some point and Romeo and Juliet’s had to be at young age. I also blame fate for a different reason, it isn’t just the end for everyone, but it also gives you the lead up to your end. It was Romeo’s fate to be banished and kill Tybalt, it was his Fate to not get the letter and find Juliet ‘dead’ and it was Juliet’s fate to wake up from her sleep and find him…

    Fate leads to the ultimate demise of Romeo and Juliet. There are many situations where fate was there, including that Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet, when it says “two households, both alike in dignity…, from ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean…” (Prologue, 1-4). When the Prince says that there will be a death if the feud continues, this signifies that there is already a plan in place. Romeo and Juliet are destined to die as a result of this feud. Another situation is that there was a plague in Mantua, so Friar John was quarantined, so he couldn’t send the letter to Romeo. Friar John said, “Where the infectious pestilence did reign, sealed up the doors and would not let us forth, so that my speed to Mantua there was stayed” (Act VI.II.10-12). Because he wasn’t able…

    Modern day society promotes individualism and self-responsibility. Yet somehow, fate exists as an intrinsic part of many people’s lives. This paradox in mindset shows how logical reasoning, common sense, and science bow down for the supernatural force that guides one through life, fate, for better or worse. Such is seen clearly in the dialogue and actions of the characters in Romeo and Juliet, a play written by William Shakespeare. Taking place in 14th century Verona, Romeo and Juliet describes the tragedy that ensues when two feuding families’ children fall in love, but fate ensures both of their suicides. The villainous acts of fate prove that fate makes one helpless against decisions in life, belief in fate becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, and…

    When being interviewed Brazilian, novelist and lyricist, Paulo Coelho claimed, “I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed”. In today's society, many people are conflicted on whether events in one’s lives are driven by one's choices or are simply meant to be. Coelho believes that both free will and fate play a role in one’s life, he says that one has the power to make certain choices, but in the end it all comes down to fate. The concept of fate versus free will can be seen in the fictional pieces, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, “Pyramus…

    Later on, Romeo defies the stars after he hears about Juliet’s ‘death’ and infuriates them: “Then I defy you stars!” (V, i, 24) When Romeo disobeys the stars, he is basically ignoring fate and perhaps that’s why fate is more cruel to him which lead to his death. Since the two families have such a deep grudge, violence broke out easily and these rash actions worsen the destiny set for Romeo and Juliet. Fate also controls actions. When Tybalt kills Mercutio right after Romeo and Juliet gets married, Mercutio curses the Montagues and Capulets: “ A plague a’both your houses! They have made worms’ meat out of me. I have it, And soundly too. Your houses!” (III, i, 102-104) Mercutio is saying how he’s been fatally wounded and he’s going to die but he also indirectly declares how the two households are going to ‘have it’ which means the families are going to face death soon too. Mercutio’s death causes Romeo to act recklessly. Out of wrath, Romeo kills Tybalt without considering his actions or consequences and ends up being banished from Verona. His banishment means he isn’t able to communicate…

    Fate is the development of events beyond a person’s control. In the Shakespearean play, Romeo and Juliet, there are “two star-crossed lovers” who fall in love. Romeo and Juliet are from different families of the same status and their love is essentially forbidden. After all these misfortunate events trying to tear their love apart, they eventually take their lives as a result. Every character in the story made choices out of free will but these choices ultimately lead to fate. Fate was the most responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because it is depicted by foreshadowing, the feud between the Montagues and Capulets and the power of the future.…

    I disagree with Romeo and Juliet's belief that fate dictates their fate, which serves to undermine their belief. When faced with choices, temptations, decisions, and priorities, we have the ability to make informed or ill-informed decisions. Every day, we make decisions. While some decisions have immediate effects, others may not have as much of an impact. However, the morals, personality, course, and fate of our lives are determined by the decisions…

    Romeo always blames his own reckless actions on fate. Romeo is warned not to go to the masquerade party but tells fate to “steerage of [his] course” and “direct [his] sail” and goes anyway. Romeo knows himself that he will die if he goes but still chooses to go. Romeo decides that whatever happens is up to fate and it’s completely out of his control. Also, after killing Tybalt, he calls himself “Fortune’s fool” and realizes he will be punished severely (Rom 3.1.142). Romeo is basically says he is a subject to the whims of fate. He thinks fate is playing around with him and not taking responsibility for what he himself did. However when he hears of Juliet’s “death” Romeo tries to “defy the stars” and kills himself (5.1.25). Romeo is taking responsibility for his actions by trying to defy his “fate” and finally taking thing into his own hands. This doesn’t work, since he didn’t bother to check if Juliet was still alive and just kills himself in his attempt to be together with her, even if it’s in death. Romeo uses fate to justify his actions and say that a power outside of his control fueled his action, but instead everything was just his impulsive choices.…
