At first Romeo did want to go‚ due to the fact that before he seen Juliet he was loved Rosaline and she was a Capulet. With a little encouragement

To add plausibility to his play Shakespeare uses a longer time to establish and reinforce the idea that a sufficient period‚ of time has elapsed during which the supposed

    Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet‚ far too many coincidences occur to be strictly coincidental. Fate creates a powerful effect throughout the entire play‚ starting in the prologue‚ continuing as Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love‚ and tragically ending in the lovers’ deaths. In the prologue‚ Shakespeare makes it undoubtedly clear that Romeo and Juliet are subject to fate. The audience is first introduced to Shakespeare’s ideas of fate when he describes Romeo and Juliet as "star-cross’d lovers"
