Time: A Consequence More Powerful Than Fate Time: A Consequence More Powerful than Fate Most people think that Romeo and Juliet are doomed because of Fate. In the Prologue the lovers are referred to as” star-crossed.” Immediately it is assumed that their fate is tragic. Even when Romeo is sent off to Mantua, Juliet speaks to Fate to make sure her Romeo is safe. Everything in this play could be made into the argument that Fate is most powerful. It could have been Fate that made Romeo kill Tybalt. Fate is a powerful force. Fate is a predetermined course of events considered to be beyond human control. Juliet’s deciding to take the poison may have been Fate, and Romeo and Juliet meeting may have been fate. Fate may seem to be the idea that destroys the lovers, but in reality Time dooms the lovers. Time regulates every little detail that happens in this play. If only there were more time there would be a different outcome. Because time is not an object one cannot grasp it. Time, like fate, is more powerful than the lovers. “We mark it, save it, waste it, bide it, race against it.
