    plays. Most are tragedies and comedies but Romeo and Juliet was the play that made history. William Shakespeare made this play to be a tragedy despite the romantic stereotypes. The two lovers warmed many peoples hearts by the strength of their love and their belief that they were born to be together. The flaw was that destiny had nothing to do with the cause of their deaths; it was their own childish choices. The first bad choice that was made was when Romeo was informed of the “Capulets”…

    Romeo and Juliet (1966), Romeo + Juliet (1996), and Gnomeo and Juliet (2011) were all very different. They all told the story differently and had their own individual strengths and weaknesses. Romeo + Juliet (1996) had quite a few strengths and weaknesses. I think the biggest strengths in the movie were the use of modern technology, the exaggerated storytelling, and the use of Olde English. The use of modern technology strengthened the movie because it made it easier to understand; when you’re…

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.

In Romeo and Juliet, one example of this is when Romeo…

    In William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, the deaths of Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet were somewhat controlled by fate. Foremost, fate was partly responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death as their meeting and love was pre-destined. Misfortune played a part in their demise by preventing Friar John from delivering Friar Lawrence’s letter due to the play being set during the time of the plague. However, Tybalt also deserves blame as his characterisation made him a hot-headed and impulsive…

    apart by fate". I believe that Romeo and Juliet's love story is one that was not destined to be. Shakespeare refers to the two young ones as "star-crossed lovers", which means two with affectionate love for one another but soon end is some type of tragedy. Being Romeo and his wife being star-crossed lovers, fate also played a role in preventing them from being together. Fate is the series of events beyond a person control, it's like something the universe already planned out. Romeo and Juliet…
