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.

When they first meet, at a capulet party where Romeo and Benvolio snuck out to, Romeo snuck out with one goal in mind, Rosaline but came out of the party a changed man. When he first locks eyes with Juliet, they come to each other right away and even at the end kiss. Yet after they depart from each other, they still don't know each other's name ]]> 2021-05-07 15:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nikita_stepanov/1r2x38rpms6bvkv7/wish/1502919383 SUMMARY: E1 nikita_stepanov https://padlet.com/nikita_stepanov/1r2x38rpms6bvkv7/wish/1502919384 We see Juliet speaking to her nurse asking her to go fetch his name and saying if he is married she will die alone.]]> 2021-05-07 15:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nikita_stepanov/1r2x38rpms6bvkv7/wish/1502919384 ANALYSIS: E1 nikita_stepanov https://padlet.com/nikita_stepanov/1r2x38rpms6bvkv7/wish/1502919386  Luckily fate has her side because we later find out Romeo is not married and better yet Romeo has the same feelings for her as she does for him. Fate led Romeo to this party not to see Rosaline but to see Juliet and for them to catch love at first sight. And fate is sending her a message though not direct, She said my grave will be my wedding bed.]]> 2021-05-07 15:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nikita_stepanov/1r2x38rpms6bvkv7/wish/1502919386 E2: EVIDENCE TWO nikita_stepanov https://padlet.com/nikita_stepanov/1r2x38rpms6bvkv7/wish/1502919387  “O God, I have an ill-divining soul!
