SummaryIn many of William Shakespeare’s dramas, a theme that seems to appear habitually is fate. Fate is defined as the “supposed force, principle, or power that predetermines events, and the inevitable events predestined by this force.” Macbeth and Romeo & Juliet are two stories in which fate guided by strong emotion is the central theme that brought each story to its respective end. There are interesting aspects of these two stories that draw parallels, but at the same time are completely different.
