Write a paragraph in which you argue that fate or miscommunication is to blame for what happens to Romeo and Juliet. 

William Shakespeare's famous play, Romeo and Juliet is a tragic love story of two young teenagers who fall deeply in love with each other. Their love turns into a obsession over each other and turns into them not being able to live without the other. Throughout the novel, their love is kept a secret because of their families differences and because they are rivalries. Friar Lawrence helps Romeo and Juliet's secret love affair stay quiet and allows them to get married without anyones knowledge. The first time Romeo laid eyes on Juliet, he fell out of love with Rosalyn and in love with the girl before his eyes, Juliet. Their love was discovered so quickly you almost think it's more of an obsession or lust for one other than actually in love. Romeo believed that him and Juliet were destined for each other and that fate brought them together that night at the Capulet's party. Fate however defy's Romeo because when Romeo believes Juliet is dead, he believes fate separated them from each other. "O god, I have ill-divining soul! Me think’s I see thee, no thou art below, as one dead in the bottom of a tomb…” (3. 5. 53-56) Miscommunication also takes a major part in the play Romeo and Juliet. Miscommunication is to fail to communicate adequately. This happens a numerous amount of times throughout the play and plays a huge part in the results of Romeo and Juliet's deaths. “I saw her laid low in her kindred’s vault…” (5. 1. 20) This is the information Balthasar gives to Romeo while he's banished. This ill informed information leads Romeo to believe his love has died and left him broken and alone. This miscommunication then leads to Romeo getting poison to kill himself because he can't live without his love Juliet. If this information however had been correct, both Romeo and Juliet would have never taken their own lives because they both would of known that the other was never dead in the first place. Fate and Miscommunication both contribute to a big part of the deaths of both Romeo and Juliet.
