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.

That was because of fate, she was in the right place at the right time which caused her to see Romeo and fall in love with him. Juliet didn't know Romeo's name or anything about him but she knew that she loved him just by looking at him for the first time. Juliet was too nervous to ask what Romeo's name was and if he was married, she sent the Nurse to do it for her and she knew if he wasn't married she was going to be the one to marry him even if it wasn't for long. ]]> 2021-05-06 20:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlyn_polisson/h2x0tuqbowy19n7i/wish/1500029446 E2: EVIDENCE TWO kaitlyn_polisson https://padlet.com/kaitlyn_polisson/h2x0tuqbowy19n7i/wish/1500029448 "O Fortune, Fortune!
