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.

Some consequence yet hanging in the stars
Shall bitterly begin his fearful date
With this night's revels, and expire the term
Of a despisèd life closed in my breast
By some vile forfeit of untimely death." (1.4.113-118)
