Theme Of Uncertainty In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Another reason of the uncertainty behind Juliet in taking this potion is the doubt of the liability of the overall plot itself. In this plan concocted by friar Lawrence many aspects relies on luck and chance. For example, in order for the plot to work, the timing of her waking up from the potion , and Romeo arriving at Capulet’s monument must be precise. However this timing can easily be disrupted as it relies on external factors and these factors may not always come through. These factors include, the fact that Romeo does not hear about Juliet's “death” before receiving the letter of explanation from friar Lawrence. This merely relies on chance and for a plot as big as this, if one aspect of the plot does not work, the entire plot is disrupted.And
