Right at the beginning of the story the audience will know that it is a tragedy play, and the two main characters take their lives for their love for each other. Right when the readers read this prologue, they know that it was their fate to die. In each Act there is at least one scene with free will and one with fate. For example Romeo was not fated to be with Rosaline. Then he chose to go the Capulet’s party and meets Juliet. Of course there are many other scene that have fate vs. free will in them.
