A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life;" (Prologue)

In the prologue, Shakespeare decides to tell the audience that two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, are going to die, and in telling us so, seals their fate. Yet, the concept of fate is throughout the play, and with the lovers being, "star-crossed," (Prologue) indicates that fate is against them. In the end, fate is the means death for not only the lovers, but Tybalt, Mercutio, Paris, and Lady Montague.

If the two families, was at peace with each other instead of at war, Romeo and Juliet, need not conceal their actions and if the war between the families did not exist then the lovers would have certainly not died.
