"Fate plays a role in determining the outcome of events."
Explanation: Shakespeare repeatedly frames Romeo and Juliet as victims of destiny (e.g., "star-cross'd lovers," Romeo's "I am fortune's fool"), and excerpts that emphasize unavoidable coincidence, foreshadowing, or characters blaming luck point to fate shaping the plot rather than free will or its equal contest with fate.
