A
Introduction and Scene Summary
In the play Romeo & Juliet, the theme of Fate is central to the tragic unfolding of events. In the context of modern technology, Fate can be interpreted as the inevitable role of digital connections and how they influence human decisions. The play originally explores the power of destiny over personal choice, exemplified through characters' actions and prophetic speeches. The scene summary provided here aims to set the stage for understanding how external forces—like fate—interact with individual agency in a world increasingly dominated by technology. Key phrases such as 'star-crossed lovers' highlight the sense of preordained destiny. Students should consider how modern devices, like social media or algorithms, might mirror the concept of Fate in today's society, influencing behaviour and outcomes just as the natural and supernatural forces do in the play.
