In the analytical essay “A most lamentable man” by Christine Marrow, Christine strongly agrees and states that Friar Lawrence is completely the reason of Romeo and Gullet’s death none the less there is strong evidence to support this point of view, there are many characters who play a severe role in Romeo and Gullet’s death. Threw out the play there are many literary devices such as foreshadowing etc. In the play, fate of the characters also plays a main role as well as the plot.
As one of the central themes of the play, fate plays an important role in Romeo and Gullet’s death. Throughout the play, fate seems to control Romeo and Gullet’s lives and forces them together and apart. One example of how fate brings the two lovers together is in Act 1 Scene 2, where Capsule Servant invites people to the party, Romeo sees the invitation list with Rationale’s name on it and decides to attend the party which results in the first meeting between Romeo and Juliet.
Another example of why fate is to blame for this tragedy is in Act 5 Scene 1, where Friar’s letter does not reach Romeo due to a random incident. To a large extent, fate is not the only cause of the lovers’ misfortunes; Romeo and Juliet are responsible for their own death as well, due to their impulsiveness. Shakespearean Romeo and Juliet has an edge-of-the-seat plot full of murder, love, feuding. And betrayal. Driving this tragic play forward is the fast-paced, witty, and convoluted dialogue of the script.
