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.)

Answer:

Hardin's metaphor describes a lifeboat bearing 50 people, with room for ten more. The lifeboat is in an ocean surrounded by a hundred swimmers. The "ethics" of the situation stem from the dilemma of whether (and under what circumstances) swimmers should be taken aboard the lifeboat.

Hardin compared the lifeboat metaphor to the Spaceship Earth model of resource distribution, which he criticizes by asserting that a spaceship would be directed by a single leader – a captain – which the Earth lacks. Hardin asserts that the spaceship model leads to the tragedy of the commons. In contrast, the lifeboat metaphor presents individual lifeboats as rich nations and the swimmers as poor nations.

[Chorus:] From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
raketka [301]

The answer is B: The children of two feuding families fall in love and are destined to die.

In these beautiful lines by Shakespeare, one can summarize the entirety of Romeo and Juliet. Two quarreling families give birth to two children, on one side, Romeo, on the other, Juliet. From the outset, as it was believed then, and even nowadays, people´s lives are ruled by the sign of the star that they are born under, so that, being star-crossed, Romeo and Juliet were destined not only to fall in love, but to die because of that.
