Fate to me is an event that is destined to happen. By destined I mean almost nothing can stop this from taking place. Fate was set before and is the result of events occurring. Fate ultimately is rather dominant. Fate will happen no matter what. I have a personal experience in fate, as in the death of my father. He always had health issues, but he passed suddenly. We didn’t even know how it happened. I guess because due to a long period of health problems, he was destined to die.
Destiny is an event that is foretold and can’t be stopped. It is caused by events in a sort of cause and effect chain. Destiny can be related to the weather, as in, it can’t be changed or stopped. Some people may even say that “The man upstairs “can decide your destiny. Anyway, destiny is definite. X in this equation is me, X= 50/100. It was a 50-50 chance when you develop in the womb to be either male, or female. I guess it was destined or predetermined for me to be male.
Freewill is an event that is caused by humans or animals. Freewill also can be altered. Altered by a sudden change of events, or even canceled altogether. Freewill can be limited but not restricted. As in, if you went to take down a poster, you can do that. But if someone of higher authority, such as a teacher or principle, restricts that ability, you can’t do that without consequences in the end. A good example of freewill is school grades. It is entirely freewill as in you get graded according to how much effort you put in, how much work you complete and the quality of the completed work..
An example of fate in the play Romeo & Juliet is when Romeo was on the balcony discussing how much he loves Juliet, when she walks in on Romeo and overhears him talking about his love for Juliet. It was destined for Juliet to overhear Romeo. It wasn’t Romeo’s decision for it to happen.
An example of freewill in the play Romeo and Juliet is when it was Romeo’s own decision to take his life when he heard (mistakenly) that Juliet died. Although he didn’t know that this news was false, he still took it upon himself to take his life out of being depressed and didn’t want to suffer.
Examples of destiny in the play Romeo and Juliet it was destined for Romeo and Juliet to meet. It must’ve been destined because the odds of them meeting are very slim. But when they met, they fell in love with each other.
In conclusion, there are many examples of fate, destiny, and freewill in the play Romeo and Juliet. It was Destiny for Romeo and Juliet to meet. Just think in real life, say if you talk to someone online that you don’t know in real life, what are the chances of you two meeting in the same place, (if you two didn’t decide to meet)? That means destiny is a huge part of Romeo and Juliet. There is also a sizable amount of fate in the play. It was entirely fate when Romeo was discussing his love for Juliet and she decided to pay him a visit and overheard him. But it was fate’s decision that she arrived when she did. And freewill is existent in the play as well. It was Romeo’s own will to take his life when he though Juliet was dead. He knew he couldn’t live without her and ended his life. But she wasn’t really dead. And she found out then took his knife and ended her own life. This proves that fate, freewill, and destiny are evident in the classical play Romeo and Juliet.
