Romeo and Juliet?

Question

I got assigned an essay on R&J.
prompt says:
Explain the role fate plays in the play. Explain how symbols, images, and repeated ideas are used to point to and explain the role of fate in the play. How are various literary elements used to show us that fate is in control and that Romeo and Juliet are victims of fate?

For my thesis I came up with
1. timing, close calls
2.foreshadowing
3.shakespeare tells us fate is in control

but my teacher wants me to combine 2&3

Any ideas of a new topic? I'm clueless.

Answer 1

Here's a related aspect to consider: who or what is the antagonist in R&J? (Typically, although not invariably, in a Shakespearean tragedy the antagonist kills the hero.) I say that it's not a person but the feud itself, and Romeo and Juliet are its victims.

Answer 2

luck/chance of all the situations
