The play through out act 3 scene 5 is almost all fate and very little love even tho between Romeo and Juliet has very little love it is mostly fate and that is all it is very little love in the play but a huge amount of fate had to happen in this play for all of these thing to happen.

I think the play between scenes 3 and 5 were very sad, dark scenes. Almost the entire time, either Romeo or Juliet is trying to kill theirselves. They talk to themselves about dying and never being able to see eachother again. I think fate was strong in these scenes in particular because fate allowed them to get back together.

So far in Romeo and Juliet they have shown that they believe they are madly in love and will do anything to be together, including faking death and running away.

Fate and live is very apparent in this play. Romeo and Juliet met coincidentally and fell in love instantly. Everything that has occurred so far has some how brought the two of them together. If one thing had happened differently they would not be together. This is a great example of fate. Romeo and Juliet fell in love as soon as they saw each other. They love each other so much that they decide to get married.

I think that there is a huge fate played in this because for all theses events to happen is very rare but they cant be separated because they have such a strong love connection.

I think the timing was perfect. Juliet didn't want to marry Paris because she had met another man, had she not met Romeo she would have married Paris. With this in mind, Juliet did not even want to be married in the first place, it was because she met Romeo that she changed her mind. I do not think Juliet should have compromised any of her core values to be with Romeo, or because she needed something to take her away from Paris. They are still so young, and have not learned many lessons as far as the idea of love goes, and it awes me that Romeo and Juliet just know how to properly treat each other without having the instruction from parent or positive influence.

In the play Romeo and Juliet falling in love seems to be largely a part of fate. Them seeing each other at the ball and falling in love instantly has to be fate. They stay together through the play and that has to be partially them knowing that fate brought them together.

I think that there is more fate then love. I don't think they really love each other. They barely even know eachother

I think that love and fate is not as real as Romeo and Juliet make it out to be. they over dramatize it and make it something that is really not possible. The couple are lovers but I do not think by fate.

There is basically no love at all in act 3. Most of it is just fate. Fate was a huge part in this act because if one little thing hadn't happened the whole story could've changed. The only love you see is the balcony scene were they talk about their love and then Romeo leaves.

I think the whole relationship that they have are being rushed and both of them are not thinking clearly. They fight be in love at first sight but because of the time they are overdoing it and not taking time to think of it. I don't thin that this was really fate but just a small chance pressured into something big.

I think that fate and love has a weird coordination. Fate seemed to take over. They fell in love and because of that it changed fate, making Tybalt killing Mercutuio and then Romeo killing tybalt and everything unfolds from there

In Romeo and Juliet fate and love are what controls every thing that happens. Fate controlled how they met and love controlled every thing after.

There is almost none, if not any, love throughout Act III Scene V. It is mostly fighting and pondering over very trivial things. Some are not so trivial, but most of them are. This might effect the outcome of the story because there might not be as much love as we thought there would be.

Fate and love play a huge role in this play. Fate slowly, and conveniently, brings Romeo and Juliet together. I still have problems with the amount of convince in this story and still hate all of the drama such as killing Tybalt

Throughout Romeo and Juliet, fate and love have changed. In the beginning it was all fate and then transferred just a little to love. After Romeo was banished it went back to fate and there really has not been that much love in the story that we have been able to find out.

Throughout Romeo and Juliet, I have found that the scenes leading up to act three scene five have been pretty happy with a few sad events thrown in. For the most part, Romeo and Juliet have been extremely happy up until Romeo's banishment. Who knows if this was fate in the lovers' case but their love did not fade in the midst of a hard time. The two kids have a seemingly unbreakable bond that they will do anything to upkeep.

Throughout Romeo and Juliet there have been good and bad times, but they are still together. With everything that is happening with their lives with and without each other they still love each other so maybe Romeo and Juliet meeting was fate, and just at the right time.

They think that Romeo and Juliet are in deep love and belong together but their parents and servants don't feel the same way.

It is somewhat predicduable, because if you look at it ou know it is a tradagy so something must happen because it is so happy and it must some how become bad.

So far in Romeo and Juliet I see very little resemblance between fate and love. I think that Romeo and Juliet happened to meet at the right time at the right place. But through Act III the idea of love changed because they were talking about more morbid ways of keeping their love alive, and I think that fate wouldn't connect to a love that is so sudden and undetermined.

Romeo and Juliet met through fate and love each other so much that they want to run away together and get married behind their families backs. They have only know each other for less than a week and believe they are the "loves of their lives."

Fate has been a big part of this play since the beginning. Romeo and Juliet would not have met in the first place if it wasn't for fate and they wouldn't have been able to meet again if fate hadn't played a big role.

I think that fate draws them closer together and that what makes them love each other even more than they do today.
