Its got a little bit to do with destiny‚ fate‚ and what’s written in the stars.” This quote relates strongly to Romeo and Juliet because due to the bad fates of their family‚ they ended up dying for each other.

    Looking at fate as the general intellect would define it‚ it seems unmovable‚ unbeatable‚ and impersonal. However‚ foreshadowing Aeneas’ destiny with the general definition of fate‚ makes for a pretty boring story. Luckily‚ Virgil defined fate very differently through The Aeneid.
