Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare

...

keep seeing each other and didn’t think about the consequences of there actions and what it would lead them to. (Act 4, scene 3, lines 4-33) "What if this mixture does not work at all? Shall I be married then tomorrow morning? No, no. This shall forbid it. Lie thou there. What if it be a poison, which the Friar Subtly hath ministered to have me dead, Lest in this marriage he should be dishonored because he married me before to Romeo? There’s a fearful point. Shall I not, then, be stifled in the vault to whose foul mouth no health some air breathes in, And there die strangled ere my Romeo come? Or, if I live, is it not very like the horrible conceit of death and night".

(Act 5, scene 3, lines 125-130) "Come bitter conduct, come, unsavory guide. Thou desperate pilot. Now at once run on. The dashing rocks thy seasick, weary bark. Here’s to my love! (Drinks the poison) O true apothecary, Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die". (Act 5, scene 3, line 161-171) "What’s here? A cup clos’d in my true loves hand? Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end. O churl, drunk all, and left no friendly drop to help me after? I will kiss thy lips, Haply some poison yet doth hang on them, to make me die with a restorative. Thy lips are warm. Yea, noise? Then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger, Taking Romeo’s dagger. This is thy sheath; (stabs herself)". The quotes above give evidence that’s show how R&J lead themselves into death, by making there own decisions and there decisions caused there consequence to take place which was death.

There is a reason why I chose family over fate because the family influences impacted the whole play. For example, it started up the plot and conflict between the two household. I didn’t choose fate because fate because fate is only responsible for the tragedy, but it didn’t influence the entire play to turn out how it did.
