The novel of 'Romeo and Juliet' written by William Shakespeare is not just a novel on love but is about consequences concerning the hatred of the two families the Montagues and the Capulets.
In the novel Friar Lawrence, who is a priest, came up with a plan to help stop the fighting between the two families. Friar Lawrence's plan came to him when young Romeo who is the son of Lord Montague approached Friar and asked him to wed Romeo and Juliet, the only child of the Capulets. Friar Lawrence knew that if his plan had worked Romeo and Juliet's love for one another would be strong enough to break the argument up and then Friar would get all of the credit as because he was the one that married the young couple. So he thought.
After realizing what Romeo has done he soon realizes that what is happened is caused by fate and Romeo states "O, I am Fortune's fool!" this quote is in Act 3, Scene 1. This quote means Romeo is saying that fate is playing with Juliet and his future together.
During the novel it is stated that fate plays around with Romeo and Juliet's lives together and the hatred between the families plays a part in the two young lovers. It is stated that if there was no hatred in the two families Romeo and Juliet would be together and live a happy life without them worrying about what their parents think. As there is hatred in the families Romeo and Juliet's love in the end is too strong to let go and due to that they kill themselves.
