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.)

skelet666 [1.2K]

You start to see in it presentiments of her suicide. The name proposes being on the edge or having slipped off it. Since the poem is about a "perfected woman," one begins to read it as the poem about Plath herself dead, perfect. You can see how unhappy that she feels when turning over this message and you can almost see what she is planning to do.  It makes you more conscious of others who may be in need of help when you least comprehend it.
