When Romeo kills himself with poison, Juliet wakes and tries to get leftover poison, Juliet expresses, “Happly some poison yeth doth hang on them to make me die with a restorative”Kisses him( Shakespeare 5. 3. 170- 171). Juliet wants to die now along with Romeo so she kisses him to get poison but she does not get any poison from Romeo's lips. This scene has no luck because if she is lucky there would have been poison and would have die a quieter death. After Romeo slays Tybalt he is exiled by the prince, Prince announces, “And for that offense immediately we do exile him hence.”(Shakespeare 3. 1. 192- 193). If Romeo doesn't kill Tybalt or he's punishment isn't exiled from Verona, Romeo and Juliet’s relationship is the way things were right before Tybalt is slain. To Romeo and Juliet expense, Romeo is band following this train of bad luck through their relationship. At this point friar John is sent to deliver a message, John explains, “I could not send it - here it is again nor get a messenger to bring it, thee so fearful were they of infection.’’( Shakespeare 5. 2.14-16). If this message gets to Romeo he doesn't go to the Apothecary for poison. The town being afraid of infection is an unlucky bump in the master plan that eventually causes Romeo to commit. Everything builds up to the causes of their deaths, it is all bad
Free will can cause teens to make both superior and poor decisions, but with factoring in other people’s actions to the situation it can lead to an unintended ending such as death.

After facing many difficulties they decide to kill themselves so they can be together. According to The Choice is Yours: The Fate of Free Will by Marcelo Gleiser, young teens’ free will can drive them to do unexpected things that affect both themselves, their families, and others around them. Some of Romeo and Juliet’s decisions are based on freedom of choice. Free will is part of making independent

It doesn’t just happen between the two main characters of Romeo and Juliet; but also Paris, the man intended to marry Juliet, Lord and Lady Capulet, and Friar Lawrence.
In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, there are many aspects of the play which are linked to the teenage brain and how it functions. The teenage brain does not work the same as it does in adults and therefore helps the plot of the play move along quickly. Many of the parts that function in the adolescent brain can be seen in almost every decision that Romeo and Juliet make. Many studies have been created to take a look at how the adolescent brain works. There are some key elements to the brain of adolescents that show why most teens make these impulsive and adventurous decisions. As shown in Romeo and Juliet, teens do things because some parts of the brain do not mature until later in life, teens want a taste of risk, and the chemical
A story of love, cut short by a small part of unfortunate and sad death, as this is the story of Romeo and Juliet. In the play, Romeo and Juliet, there are two lovers that cannot be together because of their families past. In current day, the rivalry has nothing to do with Romeo and Juliet themselves, as it is just an unfortunate coincidence that forbids the two from being with each other. In the play, Romeo at times acts very impulsively to fill his desires, and get what he wants. However, through doing this, he only fixes a situation immediately, and does not fix any issues in the long run of things. Romeo reacts this way to many of these situations in the story. Acting impulsively for one’s desires leads to many bad events because it does
Shakespeare did not wait to tell the readers that Romeo and Juliet were a part of pre-determined destiny. For example, in the prologue it says "From fourth the fatal loins of these two foes, A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life (Shakespeare prologue)." This means two unlucky children are born into enemy families, they become lovers and commit suicide. From the moment Juliet and Romeo are born they are told they can not do anything but feud with the other family. The children had no input in this, it was decided for them.
Life is a journey of either Fate or Destiny. Fate is the result of giving in to one’s wounds and heartaches, Destiny unfolds when you unlock higher potential, Either way both leave an imprint on life’s path. Fate is what shapes a persons destiny, by choosing fate many are prone to living a fulfilled Life. Although destiny is ones dreams and aspirations no one should have to sit around waiting a lifetime for it. Anyone at any point in time should choose Fate over Destiny, this effect can lead just about anyone to well deserved outcomes and most of which somethings better then what Destiny could ever do.
The character that made the play better is Benvolio. He is part of the house of the Montagues. He is the nephew of Montague, and Romeo’s cousin. Benvolio is helpful, brave, non-romantic, committed, caring, and protective. This was the most interesting character because he is not the main character, but he still is very important in the story (he also was one of the only characters that didn’t make really dumb decisions). If Romeo didn’t have Benvolio to talk to, he would be even more upset because he wouldn’t have anyone to talk to about his feelings. Everyone needs someone they could go to with their problems and get advice or at least another opinion about the situation. Luckily,
Was it fate or free will that killed Romeo and Juliet? In the prologue of this play, Shakespeare refers to Romeo and Juliet as “A pair of star-cross'd lovers.” Star crossed lovers are people whose love is destined to end in tragedy. Free will is when people are able to make their own decisions and have consequences based off their decisions instead of predetermined consequences. Fate was definitely the reason for Romeo and Juliet’s tragic deaths because of the unexplainable coincidences, uncharacterized choices, and conscious decisions that all lead to the same inescapable outcome.
Fate is seen by many of the character in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet as the reason for Romeo and Juliet’s downfall. In truth, however, it is the character flaw and actions of Romeo, Friar Lawrence and Caplet that turely lead to their deaths.
Chaos in the streets of Verona erupt again. A day after a fight with the Capulet and Montague family, Tybalt kills Mercutio. Soon after, Romeo kills Tybalt for revenge. Is this controlled by fate, or by the character’s free will? In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the use of free will throughout the play would give Romeo and Juliet a one way ticket to their deaths. Their “fate” was determined by events that could have been prevented by some people’s decisions. Romeo and Juliet led towards the path of death because of their own choices! Times in the play when the characters use their free will include Tybalt’s decision to fight Mercutio, the Prince ordering Romeo to be banished (instead of being executed), and, Juliet’s decision to disobey her parents to marry Romeo.
Verona, a city in which a pair of “star-crossed lovers” and all of its citizens overall, blame the “greater power,” fate, to veil their own actions. Fate and free will, both play a major part in Romeo and Juliet. However, only one of the two is actually true. On one side, fate supposedly controls the character’s destiny. But they are completely unaware that it is actually their free will and their own actions in which they are in control of. Though the characters in the play seem to believe and to be completely convinced that something greater, such as “fate,” is controlling them, they only choose to do so since they do not want to take responsibility for the actions they have done. Throughout the play, Shakespeare argues between fate and free will acting upon the characters.
