Term
Analyze the theme of Fate or "predestination" in the play Romeo and Juliet.
Definition
Predestination is the theory or idea that ones future is planned out. In other words, Fate or a higher power controls what happens in your life. This idea is a theme throughout Romeo and Juliet. For example, Romeo and Juliet are dubbed as being "star-crossed" or fated to be together. Also, it seems that through out the play there are unseen powers pushing Romeo and Juliet to be together though in reality they can not because they are from feuding families. Therefore fate play a large role in the plot of the play. It's presence in the play also emphasizes that perhaps one has no power over their future (lack of free will).
