In the Elizabethan era crime and punishment was one of the most important things to keep the order in society.

In William Shakespeare's, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet die from miscommunication between the characters, not fate.
Since Friar John did not deliver the message, Romeo's messenger heard Juliet had died and Romeo went to see her. When he reached her tomb, he killed himself by drinking a potion.

Juliet got upset and wanted to die without Romeo. She went to the Friar to see if he could help her because, her father wants her to marry Paris when she’s already married though no one knows. He thought of the idea of of making her seem dead. “If, rather than to marry County Paris, Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself, Then is it likely thou wilt undertake A thing like death to chide away this shame, That copest with death himself to scape from it; And, if thou darest, I’ll give thee remedy.” (Act 4 Scene 1)

Romeo, who was not informed of Friar's plan about Juliet and the potion, kills himself when he thinks that Juliet is dead, when she really isn't. Juliet arises and sees Romeo dead, and takes her own life. Friar is overcome by guilt and realizes that he has "a short date of breath."
