The quotations that best sum up the theme of fate in Rome and Juliet are 'a pair of star-cross'd lover take their lives' and 'I defy you stars' because the audience was foreshadowed the tragic events of the future, whilst the characters in the play had no idea of this, creating dramatic irony. Romeo exclaims 'I defy you stars' after finding out about Juliet's 'death', from Balthasar, making it seem that it was the stars (his fate) that determined this to happen.
did my inspector calls exam last week and your videos helped MASSIVELY, thank you for creating these resources, i am looking forward to using your Romeo and Juliet series to help for my exam next week. told my friends about your videos and wish more people knew about them, they are a godsend!!!!
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you found the AIC videos helpful - hopefully the ones for R+J will likewise be handy! And thank you also for telling your friends about my channel 😊
Brilliant video! Thank you so much. One point that I thought would be interesting but wasn't mentioned, is that fate is something that the characters continually use to alleviate themselves from responsibility. I think that can be seen in many of the quotations you so wisely picked e.g "o' I am fortune's fool!" where it can be argued that Romeo's excessive passion and fickle behaviour was debatably the genesis of this tragic outcome. Might not be right but thought it was interesting :)

I think it's the quotation "a pair of star crossed lovers" cz it foreshadows from the genesis that this fate will happen without planned
plague is hinted at by Mercutio when he dies a plague a both your houses
i reckon the plague goes back to mercutio's 'a plague on both your houses' in A3S1 before he dies
hence showing the cruel works of fate
