Absolutely‚ I do think that we are in charge of our fate. Even though "destiny" and "fate" have similar meanings‚ they are very distinct in my opinion. Opportunities are presented to us by fate‚ but in the end‚ our choices define our fate. For example‚ it was fate if you met the ideal person at a party. However‚ your fate is in the actions you take. In my opinion‚ we have complete influence over the decisions we make and our responses to the opportunities presented by fate are significant. The difficult

Shakespeare’s Play ‘Romeo and Juliet’‚ we get the impression that perhaps the nurse has more affection for Juliet compared to her actual parents. It was the nurse that raised and breastfed her. Her parents seem to be quite remote and distanced and are more interested in controlling her. However‚ we see their genuine affection for her when they are grief-stricken after they discover Juliet’s death.
