What are some of the powers of fate in the play Romeo and Juliet?

Romeo and Juliet have a destined love that is not meant to
be. It is a love they cannot live with or without. It turns them upside down and inside
out. It is simply Shakespeare when a destined love not meant to be finds
destiny.


As fate would have it, Romeo attends the masqerade
and finds Juliet. As fate would have it, she is a Capulet. As fate would have it, Romeo
is Montague. As fate would have it, Romeo falls in love with a young girl he cannot
have.


Fate again prevails when Romeo believes that his
beloved Juliet is dead. As fate would have it, Romeo does not get word that Juliet is
only sleeping. As fate would have it, Juliet wakes up and finds Romeo dead. As fate
would have have it, she kills herself.


As fate would have
it, two deaths cause two families to reconcile. The Capulets and Montagues realize the
price it has taken for them to realize how ridiculous and even dangerous their hatred
has been.
