She tries to find her free will by either finding a different way around her marriage or killing herself. However, in the end her fate was not to live a joyful and enjoyable life, but die an adolescent by Romeo's side. Juliet did not live or die based on how she wanted to. Instead, fate didn't let her take matters into her own hands and was stronger than her free will.

"God joined my heart and Romeo's thou our hands; And ere this hand, by thee to Romeo' sealed, Shall be the label to another deed, Or my true heart with treacherous revolt turn to another this shall slay them both." (4.1.56.60)

As we know, the servingman is illiterate and needs assistance reading the guest list for the Capulet party and asks Romeo to read it for him. When Romeo reads it, he sees Rosaline's name on it, which eventually leads to him going to the party. However, when Romeo goes to the party, his eyes are drawn to the beautiful Juliet, causing him to forget about Rosaline. He falls in love with Juliet, though she is part of a family that his family hates, which results in this tragic love story. If the servingman didn't ask Romeo to read the list, he probably wouldn't have met Juliet in the party, which points to fate.

Prompt:  To what extent does Shakespeare rely on his use of antithesis to deliver one of his main messages, and why is this important?

Introductory Paragraph

There is an old saying that opposites attract--that for every yin there is a yang.  Yet, there also exists the popular notion that extreme feelings often lead to extreme endings.  Throughout Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare’s repeated use of antithesis helps foreshadow the idea that things will not work out well for the two young lovers, Romeo and Juliet.  This idea is significant because it teaches the audience that loving in moderation is often safer than being swept away by passion.

Prompt:  To what extent does Shakespeare rely on the motif of fate to deliver one of his main messages, and why is this important?

Introductory Paragraph

In popular cinema, the idea of tempting fate or even escaping fate is a prevalent notion.  Movies like Final Destination and Slumdog Millionaire are two relatively well-known examples; plays often explore these same concepts, too.  Throughout William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the motif of fate is established to help deliver one of the central ideas that no matter how hard people try, if they tempt fate or try to defy their destiny, they will likely lose.  This idea is significant because even though people like to think they are in control, sometimes there are greater forces at play.

Prompt:  To what extent does Shakespeare rely on the motif of love vs. infatuation to deliver one of his main messages, and why is this important?

Introductory Paragraph

From movies to television shows, from poetry to music, one thing is for certain--love is almost always in the air.  Yet, love is a concept that should not be oversimplified.  No--there are several aspects to what love is and to what love is not.  Throughout William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the motif of love vs. infatuation is established to help deliver one of the central ideas that love has the power to blind anyone, especially emotional adolescents.  This idea is significant because it emphasizes the point that when people allow themselves to be swept away by passion, they run the risk of ignoring all of the warning signs along the way.
