    The events of Romeo and Juliet are heavily influenced by fate‚ as oppose to the actions of the characters.

Rather‚ chance occurrences (or predestination‚ depending on one’s opinion) cause events to take place; these events seriously alter the course of the play. Fate affects us all every single day‚ but the sheer number of occurrences related to fate‚ as well as the powerful affect these

    Friar Lawrence is a very important character in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ because he is the sole figure of religion in the play‚ allowing us to infer a lot about the role religion played in daily life and Shakespeare’s views on it. In the play‚ the Nurse addresses the Friar as ‘lord’. This metaphor illustrates how religion was a major part of people’s lives at the time the play was set. When referring to Jesus we would often use the term ‘lord’; the same way that the Nurse refers to the Friar. The fact
