"From the fatal loins of these two enemiesA pair of star-crossed lovers take life;"I disagree with the above quote because I think the tragic deaths of both Romeo and Juliet they are caused by human decision. It is an indirect result of the decisions and actions of several characters. For example, Romeo decides to go to Capulet's party where he meets Juliet. Later, Romeo and Juliet decide to get married, another bad decision in the story. Furthermore, Friar Laurence agrees to secretly marry the two, which is also the cause of their deaths. In this essay, we will discuss how the death of Romeo and Juliet is caused by the bad decisions of each of the above characters. When Romeo decides to attend the Capulet party, he has already set the stage for his death. If he hadn't gone to the party, he wouldn't have met Juliet and the whole story would never have happened. One could argue that it is fate that Romeo meets the servant who let him know about the party. However, Romeo still holds the final decision. He might decide not to go! Furthermore, on his way to Capulet's party, he suddenly feels that he will die young as a result of attending the party. He has bad luck but decides to attend the party anyway. Therefore it is caused by a human decision that leads to the death of lovers Romeo and Juliet. When Romeo and Juliet decide to get married, they too are bringing their suicide closer to reality. Each of them falls in love with the other's appearance. It's love at first sight. They both know that neither of their families will accept loving someone from the other family. However, they still decide to get married in secret. Obviously it's another bad human decision. It is clear to them how impossible their love is. If they could be more clear-headed, they would think about it carefully and not decide to fall in love. Their impetuous decision causes tragedy. No less guilty of the lovers' death is Friar Laurence. The moment Romeo asks him to marry him and Juliet, he accepts, thinking he can marry the two then and announce it to their families later. He hopes this will end the feud between the families. However, when Romeo is exiled, this is no longer an option. Then he devises another plan that allows Romeo to take Juliet to Mantua.
