In this essay I will be exploring how William Shakespeare, uses fate in Romeo and Juliet.fate. This is where something happens outside of our control for e.g fate decided his course for him.
people think that fate is when God is showing in paths by Religion ways by thinking that God will show you every way to go throw you life time. However some people think fate not will and also thinks it does lead the way of your life, i think that fate is true because the way Shakespeare, explore in lots ways but Shakespeare ask a lots of question in his play of Romeo and Juliet.
In this play Shakespeare has shown fate in many ways. For example in the prologue at the beginning, it tells us what’s going to happen “Two houses holds both alike in dignity,in fair Verona (where we lay our scene.)” The prologue its telling us about whats going to happen in the story. However it make the audiences
aware of what is going happen in the play, because the audiences was a little bit drunk. However this quote uses fate,is when something is going to happen its been said in the pasted, but leader you somewhere.Romeo describe fate by pointing that God is the sail and Romeo is the ship. Shakespeare use this metaphors by explaining that God will leader, Romeo to the right path and Romeo followed the right path.
Some people may not believe that fate is something that truthfully exists in the world. This portion of the population doubts that there is anything that is actually meant to be or supposed to happen thinking that there is always a way around troubling predicaments, knowing that it isn’t necessary to turn out just one certain way.
When Mercutio shouts “a plague on both your houses” in Act 3, Scene 1, we are reminded of the lead fate. This bloody scene in which characters are killed gives us a glimpse of what fate has in store, marking the beginning of Romeo and Juliet’s downfall.
In Romeo eyes fate was evil, example when the letter didnt get to Romeo this was because God didn’t want Romeo to get the letter. God want something to end,the war between them the only this could work by making Romeo and Juliet getting together.
The fate was the letter not getting to Romeo to tell the plan of Friar Lawrence to tell Romeo.
Shakespeare ,control language’s in Romeo and Juliet shows fate by using metaphors and other languages devices.
When Juliet, “She doth teach the torches to burn bright” This metaphors tells us that Juliet’s beauty is much brighter than that of the torches so she is very beautiful. She is so much brighter that she teaches the torches .Juliet says “My lips two blushing pilgrims ready stand..” is a great metaphor, because both Romeo and herself are using clever religious metaphors to show their feelings for each other because there feeling are getting stronger every time there saw each other he is saying that her lips are two blushing pilgrims ready to sin in the act of kissing him.
By doing this he is probably hoping that the two families would end their bitter feud. In a twist of fate a plague does effect both houses, in Romeo and Juliet’s death but it reunites the two families in their grief. This is a clear act of fate and an typical Elizabethan audience would have enjoyed this. Shakespeare knew when writing what appealed to his audience. When Romeo realises what has happened he seeks vengeance and kills Tybalt. He realises what will happen and how things will never be the same again, ‘The day’s black fate on moe days doth depend, this but begins the woe others must end.’ He knows that the events on that day will change his life and things will never be the same.
