Have romeo and juliet made decisions about their lives or has fate directed them?

You can make a good case for both. Shakespeare did this on purpose. The things Romeo and Juliet decided to do or not do, such as deciding to get married without telling their parents about it, or choosing suicide, are things that were clearly within their power. But a number of things happen to them which are out of their control. In particular, the chain of events which resulted in Romeo hearing that Juliet was dead without hearing that it was all a fake for his benefit, was the most horrific bad luck. Nobody could say that it was within Romeo or Juliet's control. Shakespeare wanted the audience to feel that Romeo and Juliet were put in the position of making hard choices, but they did make those choices themselves. Knowing how hard they tried just makes it sadder.

Juliet also agrees to go to that party but does not foresee the outcome. Romeo goes to see Rosaline and Juliet goes to see Paris, but they unexpectedly see each other instead.
