Some believe that fate controls your life and what happens in it, others think that your decisions affect the outcome of your life. In the Shakespearian play “Romeo and Juliet”, two star crossed lovers from feuding families fall in love. Due to the actions they both take to pursue their love, they both end up dead along with many other people. The deaths of Romeo and Juliet were not caused by fate, but their own poor decisions. A poor decision that Romeo made was to go to sneak into the Capulet's party with his friends. Romeo went to the Capulets party to find new women to make him forget about his previous love, Rosaline. This was an example of a poor decision as it was Benvolio’s idea to go to the party, as said in this quote “At this same

Before Romeo fights Tybalt he says to him “Alive in triumph—and Mercutio slain! Away to heaven, respective lenity, and fire-eyed fury be my conduct now” (3.1.120-127). Romeo is saying that he will let his rage drive him to kill Tybalt, but if he had kept calm and let Prince Escalus decide the fate of Tybalt , Romeo would not have been banished, Tybalt would have been exiled or even sentenced to dead, and Romeo and Juliet could have more time together before the wedding to be with each other. “Friar - Too familiar is my dear son with such sour company.

Do not say “banishment.” (3.3.4-14) These lines from the play show the outcome of Romeo's poor choice to murder …show more content…

It is my will, the which if thou respect” (1.5.65-70). Juliet also should have told her father about her marriage with Romeo because if she had told him he would not have forced her to marry Paris and would not have got so mad at her. “Hang thee, young baggage! disobedient wretch! I tell thee what: get thee to church o' Thursday, Or never after look me in the face: Speak not, reply not, do not answer me; My fingers itch. Wife, we scarce thought us blest That God had lent us but this only child; But now I see
