Free Will In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet
Fate is an idea some people think controls what living things do. That is false unless fate is the author or writer of a book. Everyone is given a chance to just get back on the right track or drift away from the wrong doings. The right thing to do is take that chance. It is rare to become successful or accomplish a great well-being from doing the wrong acts. To get the point across, only the person making the choices and decisions can control their movement. Everything a person does is not decided by fate, but by the individuality of a person and how they portray themselves. In this scenario, Romeo and Juliet are both completely responsible for their acts because they could have turned away from moments that was or were about to happen to them and the fact that these two love birds were impulsive.

Romeo and Juliet should not have blamed fate for their actions because they are completely responsible for everything they did.
As Romeo quoted, “I fear too early…of untimely death” (I. iv. 106-111). Romeo just predicted the end of his life, and even though Romeo predicted his own death, he kept on going to the Capulet party. “I am fortunes fool” (III. i. 119). Now Romeo is blaming fate for killing Tybalt. Although Tybalt killed Romeo’s dearest friend Mercutio, both of them could have just walked away instead of this bloody mess. For all the bad things that happened to Romeo and Juliet, it is possible that fate did step in, but it is more likely that their actions were uncontrollable due to this love affair. All these events that happened to Romeo and Juliet are clearly their fault. If they walked away, their lives would have been a lot better, yet they did
not.
Romeo and Juliet should not have been so impulsive because acting before thinking leads to nothing. When these star crossed lovers killed themselves in the tomb; before all of this, Romeo and Juliet could have just run away once they were married. Since Romeo and Juliet were so reckless, they did not think of such a simple solution like this. “Can I go forward…find thy centre on” (II. i. 1-2). Romeo was meaning to say that he wanted to keep on going to the party, but in doing so, Romeo just brought him the trouble he predicted earlier. If he had thought about this and just turned away or maybe have listened to his gut, Romeo would have been alive. Sometimes Romeo and Juliet could not control their actions and what they do, but if they were smart, Romeo and Juliet could have avoided their tragedies. Both of them could have averted whatever was being thrown at them if these two lovers just contemplated what was about to happen. Romeo and Juliet could have lived happily together without all the hassle.
It is clear that Romeo and Juliet are responsible for their actions because they are both too impulsive and accused fate for too many things that took place. If Rome and Juliet took the time to find other solutions in consideration, and did not put fate at fault; both of them could have lived together without all the trouble and distress. There were many cases where Romeo and Juliet were given the chance to turn away, but they did not take them. The lesson that should be learned is to take any chance that will have a positive outcome and to be more cautious of liability.
