Fate is a major theme of the play, and Romeo's words illustrate the theme of fate.

We know this from the play's prologue, where we are told that Romeo and Juliet are "star-crossed." in the prologue we are told that the  two were fated to fall in love and die. Thus, their fate is not only to love, but also to die.

Romeo, however, believes only that they were fated to love. That's why, when he finds Juliet "dead," he says that he "defies" the stars, or rejects fate. He believes that fate wants to keep them apart; in defying fate, he kills himself and will be with Juliet forever. (He does not stop to think that perhaps his death was "fated" too.)

We started the unit by reading an excerpt from Samuel Pepys’ diary about the great fire of London. Identify one characteristic o
kkurt [141]
One characteristic of Enlightenment that is seen in this excerpt is that people should be guided by the reason and not irrational fears, however serious they may seem to be. The protagonist/author of the diary seems to be the only cool-headed person in this terrible situation. Everybody else is freaking out, running about and screaming. He notices multiple times that nobody is making any effort to actually quench the fire. He is the one who goes to warn the king and suggests that houses should be pulled down. There is one very interesting remark about Lord Mayor, who is in a panic just like everyone else: "To the King's message he cried, like a fainting woman..." Misogyny aside, this comment shows the speaker's manly, reasonable, commendable attitude. He is an active person who does something to undo the damage, and not just a passive observer or a coward who runs away in panic.

A diary entry was a fitting form during the Enlightenment period because that was the first time that the words and opinions of a more or less ordinary person were deemed important. A diary has this risk of being a subjective collection of personal impressions. But Pepys' diary pretends to be highly objective because its author sees himself as a reasonable man, important in his own right, competent enough to keep a diary and record some important things that happen around him, to other ordinary people.
