Romeo and Juliet Inevitability of fate

Fate and its inherent inevitability have invariably found its way into Shakespeares work and the work influenced by him, a visor example of this is found within the very prologue of one of his largest pieces of work Romeo and Juliet.Within the prologue Shakespeare uses many literary techniques such as notions of foreshadowing and dramatic irony that occur end-to-end the play, some more evident that others The fearful passage of their death-markd love this is an obvious indication of the cursed or uninevitable fate that our main protagonists will treat at the end of the play.Shakespeare uses dramatic irony to emphasise the loss that these two share and in turn play to the audiences curiosity. Despite this many readers rarely ascertain that the prologue is in fact written in sonnet form consisting of 14 lines, iambic pentameter and a rhyming couplet at the last line written.The social bodily structure may connote not solo the strong love that both Romeo and Juliet share for on e another but also perhaps the love of constantly attempting to evade their fate and follow passion as opposed to reason.Romeo and Juliet are constantly seen to rebel against societys standards and the regulation set by their house, through and through this we are able to see that all love has an aspect of fate. Whether it be determined, or inevitable.Correspondingly, many of the poems found within the anthology share both the same connotations, structure and vocabulary that we have found within the prologue. A main specimen of similarity would be found within Sonnet 116, written by Shakespeare in 1609.This, as evident in its name is structured in sonnet form just as we have found in the prologue, and again it does not speak directly of love but instead as a description of what love is and is not. Love is not love.Which alter when it revise finds Shakespeare here states that love is un bent or broken and therefore cannot be created or destroyed, in this context we can suggest that love is therefore only a path in which one might set upon and that this is decided by only fate, Shakespeare states that you cannot love who you choose but instead love chooses you.It is an forever fixed mark Shakespeare goes on to describe what love is opposed to what love isnt and therefore sharing several similarities to the prologue, again describing love as a mark due to his repetitive connotation of love and fate within the prologue this may imply that this mark is in fact fate itself and therefore he allows Romeo and Juliets love to reside in the creation of his sonnets loves not times fool suggesting love is endless despite Romeo and Juliets fast approaching death.
