How much is the demise of Romeo and Juliet caused by fate and how much of it is caused by human faults?

Answer 1

33.279% fate; 52.804% human faults, 13.917% other factors. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! You cannot apply "how much" to these factors. If you believe in such a thing as fate, or bad luck, or kismet, or whatever, then you believe that everything in the world, including human faults, has caused the events to occur. And absolutely everything that happens on planet earth can be and is blamed on human faults of some kind. And every human instinct, even the best ones, can be called "faults" if you want. So, if you want to consider that the failure of Friar John to deliver the message was a contributing factor, you can look at it as a product of human faults: the failure of the health system to adequately warn passers by of the presence of infection, or Friar Laurence's failure to wisely choose his messenger, choosing Friar John when he should have chosen Balthazar (as Romeo expected he would). You can look at the same situation as the result of a confluence of causes, including the human faults we just discussed. Or, you can look at it as a blind chance, which had unfortunate consequences. There you are: depending on how you look at it the same event is 100% human fault, 100% fate, or 100% pure chance.

Answer 2

The demise of Romeo and Juliet is primarily caused by a combination of fate and human faults. While fate plays a significant role in their tragic end through circumstances beyond their control, such as their families' feud, the impulsive and irrational actions of Romeo and Juliet also contribute to their downfall. Human errors, like hasty decisions and lack of communication, exacerbate the tragic outcome dictated by fate.
