In the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare shows us the true consequences of forbidden love and what it means to love someone in a way that love cannot be expressed and the sensations are so indescribable. Such a powerful love truly changes the life and destiny of two innocent young people who were lost in each other and could not do what they wanted because of who they were. When it comes to defining love there is no true definition of love. Even when we talk about destiny there is no real definition; destiny is out of our control and is determined by the supernatural. And loss, loss affects everyone, it affects people in different ways, yet it's always there and sometimes it comes when we least expect it. Especially in Romeo and Juliet, love and loss are completely unexpected and fate in this story is completely lost and out of anyone's control. Shakespeare summarizes the fate of these two young lovers right in the prologue. The prologue clearly states, “The fearful passage of their love marked by death” (Shakespeare, Act 1 Prologue), implying that the fate of their love is death. He mentions how these star-crossed lovers are doomed from the start because not only is their love forbidden due to an ancient family grudge, but because their date is written in the stars. He is suggesting that there is a higher power keeping them apart. Shakespeare has these two characters, Romeo and Juliet, stuck in a situation that they didn't create but that they were forced into because of their family history which is so old that the families have no idea why they are fighting at this point. Romeo and Juliet challenge this family's years-long feud and fall in love and fight to the death for each other's love... middle of paper... destiny. They also do not realize that they cannot “defy the stars” (Romeo) nor that they are genetically linked to their surname. The love, loss and destiny in the story of Romeo and Juliet are so powerful that they are understood on a worldly level and is considered one of the most passionate love stories of all time and has impacted people in a way that you never thought they could be. influenced. While one learns the lesson that old grudges should never be held because one does not know what the impact might be in the future, one should also learn a lesson about love and its power because no matter what happens, it cannot be stopped love and its natural destiny. . Let it be and let it run its course, if it was meant to be it will be, but if it is tampered with or forbidden like the two lovers in the story things may happen that were not foreseen and there may not always be a happy ending After.
