He means that he has been brought into a bad situation by circumstances beyond his control.

∙ 15y agoBasically, what Romeo means is that he feels that he has fallen ill of fate. Romeo is a supersticious character and so naturally he makes reference to fate having control over his life. He means that what he has just done was mapped out by fate for him and despite him not wanting to fall into the "trap" if you will, he inevitably did.

∙ 13y agoIt means nothing, but that is because you have not quoted it correctly. All English speakers know that "you" is quite different from "I". Now, ask the question with the correct quotation, which is "I am fortune's fool."

∙ 13y agoHe doesn't. He says "I am fortune's fool." He has just realized that by giving in to his feelings of guilt and anger over the death of Mercutio, he has killed one of his wife's relatives and broken a law which attracts the death penalty. He says it is bad luck that has got him into this mess, and he has just been a pawn of fortune. It would have been more honest for him to say "I am a fool."

∙ 8y agoRomeo was trying to break up the fight between Tybalt and Mercutio. In doing this, he got in Mercutio's way and Tybalt was able to kill Mercutio. Mercutio was angry with Romeo and blamed him for his death. Romeo was so angry that he forced a fight on Tybalt and killed him. All this fighting was with swords. It was only after he had killed Tybalt that he remembered that Tybalt was his wife's first cousin, and killing him would not make Romeo popular with the in-laws. Romeo tried really hard to avoid fighting Tybalt so he wouldn't get the Capulets mad at him but it happened anyway. Romeo thinks he is the victim of fate, or of fortune if you like. Fortune is playing him for a fool, making a dupe of him.

∙ 13y agoRomeo says he is fortune's fool because he is being played by fate, or in other words, he has bad luck.

∙ 6y agoRomeo feels that he has been fooled by Fortune (Fate, Chance or Luck). He is a fool, a dupe, a sucker.

What does These violent ends and in their triumph die like fire and powder which as they kiss consume mean?
Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene VI the full line is "These violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss, consume." In Romeo and Juliet its saying..these violent delights--romeo & Juliet falling in love when their famlies hate each other.. have violent ends and in their triumph die--obv. they both die at the end like fire and powder, which as they kiss, consume...when you throw powder into a fire it just makes a bigger flame..so like romeo is fire and Juliet is powder-when they come together they burn or in their case ..ends in death. this is just in the simplest way i could put it-so someone could understand it-i hoped it gave you a better insight..im not exsactly an English scholar but i have studied shakesphere and this is actually my favorite pentameter in Romeo and Juliet One addition - the phrase "and in their triumph die" - flame is spectacular, but the spectacle is entirely due to its destructive force. So there is a tragic element - the powder can only triumph through its own destruction in flame. By analagoy, Romeo and Juliet's passion only burns so brightly because it, too, is self-destructive and will quickly consume them.
