In the prologue, Shakespeare calls Romeo and Juliet "star-crossed lovers," meaning that their destiny is controlled by fate, or the stars. Explain how this idea is developed throughout the play.

star-crossed lovers: Lovers whose relationship is doomed to fail are said to be “star-crossed”because those who believe in astrology claim that the stars control human destiny. through time it seems played that every time romeo and juilet get to the good part of things, it becomes a battle and ends horribly. they believe they are meant to be but every time destiny begins to cross them together things take a turn south

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
