William Shakespeare introduces the idea of fate in the play “Romeo and Juliet” by using metaphors. Shakespeare uses metaphors because he wants more excitement and mystery in the play.

Romeo speaks to Mercutio about love and the Capulet party and how he feels that if he attends the party, he will die. Shakespeare includes a metaphor when Romeo says,

” I fear, too early: for my mind misgives

Some consequence yet hanging in the stars”

The metaphor also refers to what people say that are in the stars which is heaven. God lives in heaven, therefore Romeo lets God decide his fate.
