Free Will In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

In many stories, characters are affected by fate and free will. Three stories with characters affected by fate and free will are Romeo and Juliet, a tragic love story, Pyramus and Thisbe, a story about The tragic end of two lovers, and Six of crows, a story in which a team of criminals infiltrate a prison for a large reward. I believe that free will had a larger impact on the characters in these sources. In the sources, there are many decisions made about relationships. In Romeo and Juliet, one example of this is when Romeo and Juliet decide to marry in secret. Another example is when Romeo decides to kill himself when he thinks that Juliet is dead. There are also examples of these decisions in the second source, Pyramus and Thisbe. One example is when Pyramus and Thisbe decide to meet at Ninus’ Tomb. Another example is when Pyramus and Thisbe decide to stay in a relationship, even when their parents forbid it. The third source, Six of Crows, also has examples of decisions made about relationships. One example of this is when Kaz Brekker, the leader of the team, kills a man when they injure one of his close friends.
