Life is full of unpredictability. As humans, some of us believe it is driven by fate or choice. Destiny is defined as an inevitable or predetermined path, but a life choice is guided by the risks one is willing to take. A life of choice can present itself in many scenarios, not only in reality, but also in stories, legends and plays. In the play "Romeo and Juliet", Shakespeare determines the outcome of the flaws through the old grudge, the threat of Romeo ** and old Capulet. The ancient struggle of Capulet and Montague has a great impact on the outcome of the plot. Hate has kept their children from loving whoever they want. The hatred between families is so great that they do not take the time to understand and support their children. Some say parents know what's best for you, but in this case that's not true. This is where the flaws come in. Capulet and Montague spend too much time on their own hateful topics rather than their child's future. They don't understand that their children are more important than the hatred they feel towards the other home. Capulet and Montague's hatred had already created a blockade between the young lovers, but Romeo and Juliet were still driven to love each other even though they knew the consequences. From then on, Romeo and Juliet sacrificed everything to be together. For example, in the end, Romeo endured all the multiple struggles to die alongside Juliet, and Juliet had taken the potion and endured all the pain just to be with Romeo.
