Romeo and juliet
Romeo and Juliet Victims of Fate Even though nobody likes it, bad luck exists. ... Just like everybody else, William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet are victims of bad luck. The Capulets and Montagues hate each other, Juliet has an arranged marriage to Paris, and there is a plague in the city of the messenger. And so it is bad luck and fate that ultimately cause the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. ... Another example of how the two houses despise each other is what Romeo and his friends have to do to get into the Capulet feast. So they will not be recognized, Romeo, Mercutio, and Benvolio wear comic masks to hide their faces. ... Also, Romeo and Juliet are not supposed to be in love: "My only love sprung from my only hate! ... " says Juliet (Act 1, Scene 5, Lines 137-140). ... It is unfortunate for Romeo and Juliet that their two families are against each other, because this means that they are not supposed to be married. ... Juliet does not want to marry Paris.
