Theme and Motif: Fate

Since I was born on March 6th 1995, my Astrology sign is Pisces. According to Astrology my good traits are being imaginative, sensitive, compassionate, kind, selfless, unworldly, intuitive, and sympathetic. It also implies my negative traits as being an escapist, idealistic, secretive, vague, weak-willed, and easily led on. Almost all of these traits are accurate about me, but one or two aren't really right about me.

I check my horoscope every once in a while to see what could or might be happening.. Sometimes it's accurate and other times it's not. But I'm not the type of person who ties every happening in their life with Astrology, horoscopes, or the heavens. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and that life happenings could have something to do with those, but who knows. In the play Romeo and Juliet, all the characters fore see life events, or believe certain events will lead up to another important event in their life. For example, in the beginning of act three, Benvolio tells Mercutio to calm down, and to not go looking for a fight; He says that people become hot-blooded and ill-tempered when it's hot outside. In this, he's already predicting a fight will break out between them and the Capulets. Another example, is when Juliet tells Romeo, "Methinks I see thee, now thou art so low, As one dead in the bottom of a tomb." She is saying to Romeo he looks as though he is dead - She's predicting his death to be soon.
