    Romeo and Juliet is a play that mostly involved in a setting where destiny plays with the lives of the characters and every scene strikes the emotional cord of the audience.

    The concept of destiny or fate manifested itself when Romeo and Juliet fell for each other as soon as they laid eyes on one another, and it would seem that as soon as they knew each other (or talked for the first time) there was this deep connection that both of them felt.

    However, everything didn't play or go quite in their way because their families are of rivals, people do not expect a Capulet and a Montegue to fall in love, everyone does not approve of their love, there are those that stand in the way and most especially on the last act, when Romeo thought that Juliet truly died and killed himself in the process, not knowing about her plan from the start because of a miscommunication. Juliet was merely trying to slow her heart in order to fool people who knew her (except him of course) that she died, but when she awoken to see Romeo dead, she too, killed herself so that they will be joined together in the afterlife.

    These things would relate in the lives of people, the audience per se, in the aspect of how life is not fair to anyone and how love plays a role in life, throughout the struggles and hardships one faces.
