During the Elizabethan time they believed their life was planned out by god and their life was planned from the moment they were born. In the prologue Romeo and Juliet are described as “star-crossed lovers”. This metaphor states their love and relationship was predicted and written in the stars. In 1, 4,107 “Some consequence yet hanging in the stars” Romeo is expressing through this metaphor he has a “weird feeling” about what’s going to happen at the Capulet’s ball. Romeo also implies he feels something bad is going to happen which will ultimately end in his death.
He also structure it in a way that you and can see that the two families are rival enemies. He also uses allusions to tell you something without actually telling you something. “Well, in that you hit you miss: she’ll not be hit with Cupid’s arrow; she hath Dian’s wit,” In this allusion Shakespear is trying to simply show that Rosaline won’t have Romeo. He also uses this allusions to get the audience attention and to engage them into what is going on. “Arise fair sun and kill the envious moon.” Here allusions is getting put to play.

In Romeo and Juliet, the symbols, light and dark show the two strong forces that pull the young lovers together while also pushing them apart. Romeo compares his lover, Juliet, to light throughout the play, which can represent love. Often Romeo will use light as a way for him to compare Juliet’s beauty to the brightness of the sun. When Romeo first lays eyes on Juliet he says, "the torches to burn bright" (I.5.43). He also describes her as, "the sun" that can "kill the envious moon" (II.2.3).
To expand on the point as to why Friar Laurence is to blame, Romeo and Juliet both allow their passion for one another to take control over their judgements and actions. He knows they will do anything and risk anything to be together. It is that bond that eventually leads to them both committing suicide. This ending ties in with the Friar due to the fact that he was the one who first sealed their love by marriage. This action he chose to take could possibly have transformed the outcome of Romeo and Juliet’s lives by taking their love one step further.
Like Beowulf depended on fate in his expeditions, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke depended on the force in Star Wars to battle the Galactic Empire. With the use of the force, Luke fired the successful shot that destroyed the Death Star right before it would reach the Rebel base.

While he is prone to believe the power of the Roman god of fertility, he is prone to disbelieve, with contempt, the soothsayer’s prediction. It is puzzling to note why Caesar is making this difference.
The Chorus states, “A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; whose misadventure piteous overthrows doth with their death bury their parents’ strife.” This quote is an example of foreshadowing because it clearly states that Romeo and Juliet are going to die in the end. In Act 1 scene 4, lines 108-113, Romeo foreshadows about his own death. Romeo is stating that he feels as if the party tonight will be the start of something bad, something that will end with his own death. Romeo states, “I fear too early, for my mind misgives some consequences yet hanging in the stars, shall
