Romeo and Juliet- Fate vs. Free Choice

The Prologue suggests that the relationship b/t Romeo and Juliet is destined for doom, and during Elizabethan times, people believed that the heavens, stars, and/or spiritual forces guided a soul, or human being towards their intended destination. Thus, the notion of fate. In our time, many believe that we have the power to control our own outcomes, and thus, change the course of own lives if we so desire.

Explain your own feelings about fate.
