developed his skillat tragedy.The power of fate is strong in Shakespeares play.Chance and evil eventually join to bring tragedy.Chance involves Romeo in a murder;chance prevents a message from reaching Romeo in time;chance brings about a deadly meeting in a cemetery.Many Elizabethans were followers of astrology(星相术)and believed that the stars couldcontrol events.Thus,Romeo and Juliet are referred to as a star-crossed loversw hose starsdoomed(命中注定)them to disaster.Elizabethans also had a concept of fate in the person of Dame Fortune(命运女神).By spinningher wheel,she could raise the state of a beggar or lower that of a king.One of the fascinations ofShakespeare is the way in which he put these ideas into the play.One of the most difficult things to decide about this play is the question of responsibility.Didirresistible fate bring tragedy to Romeo and Juliet,or were they themselves to blame?The fact thatthis question is not resolved by the author also helps to make Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet afascinating work.【翻译】莎士比亚的悲剧
