In Act II, Scene III, of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo visits Friar Lawrence and declares his love for Juliet. He then asks the Friar if he will marry them:
I’ll tell thee as we pass, but this I pray:
That thou consent to marry us today.
The Friar is shocked that Romeo wants to marry Juliet because he claimed to be madly in love with Rosaline, a silent character in the play. In fact, Romeo was quite love-sick and it was the Friar who tried to convince Romeo to let Rosaline go because she did not reciprocate his feelings. The Friar then goes on to scold Romeo because he did not want him to abandon his love for Rosaline only to go on to fall in love with another woman. However, when he realizes that Romeo is serious about Juliet and that she reciprocates his feelings, he agrees to marry them. He also recognizes that this marriage is an opportunity for the two warring families to be reconciled:
For this alliance may so happy prove
To turn your households' rancor to pure love
The role of fate in this story is very heavily used. The two are often known as star crossed lovers and they are destined to never be together because of who they are. The role of fortune could be talking about their wealth or the lack thereof when it comes to Romeo and Juliet's luck with their relationship.
Hope this helps.
The life lesson that could be learned from this chapter is that when facing with a difficult situation or a crisis, we should overcome terror or fear in order to make a decision and take action. It might be implied that sometimes a person can succeed and other can fail but there is always a choice.
