Romeo and Juliet… Fate or will?

Well for me fate fate plays an important part in the play. We are told that Romeo and Juliet are 'star - crossed lovers' (destined for bad luck) and 'death marked'. we know that their relationship will be plagued with death. 
Romeo is a young son of the Montague's. He is dramatic and constantly in love. Juliet is the daughter of the Capulet's, therival family of the Montague's. She is quite naïve and has always obeyed her parents wishes, until she meets Romeo. They meet by chance, fall in love and begin a relationship filled with tragedy. They marry in secret but soon after Romeo is banished for killing Juliet's cousin, Tybalt and Juliet is ordered to marry to Paris, a family friend. However Juliet posses a potion that makes her appear deadand sends a message to Romeo telling him to be at the tomb when she wakes. However Romeo never receives the message, which was Friar John’s responsibility to deliver it, and believes she is dead. He then kills himself, with a poiton he bough from Apothecary, so they can be reunited in death. Then Juliet awakens and realizing what has happened, kills herself. Their relationship that starts in hastefinishes just as fast. The two families, Capulet's and Montague's, are then re united in their sorrow.
Throughout the play Romeo is dramatic and constantly predicts his own death. He is predicting that he will die before his time, which he eventually does. A young man should be concerned about death.
The reason that Romeo is attending the Capulet's ball is entirely down to fate. Entirelyby chance, a servant of the Capulet's had asked him to read an invitation list for a Capulet ball,the servant could not read himself. At this time Romeo is desperately in love with a girl called Roseline and attends the party in the hope of seeing her. However he meets Juliet and falls in love with her. This is an example of Romeo and Juliet were destined to meet and destined to fall in love.When Juliet is talking to her nurse after meeting Romeo she is desperate and dramatic. She has barley known Romeo but yet she is desperately in love with him. She says that she will die if she can not marry him which is a anticipation of events that are to come.
The fight scene has many consequences that develop later in the play. A fight between Romeo, Mercuito and Tybalt takes place onthe street in which Mercuito, Romeos friend, is killed. Before he dies he curses both families, 'A plague o both your houses'. By doing this he is probably hoping that the two families would end their bitter feud. In a twist of fate a plague does effect both families, in Romeo and Juliet's death but it reunites the two families in their misery.
When Romeo realizes what has happened he seeksvengeance and kills Tybalt. He realizes what will happen and how things will never be the same again.He knows that the events on that day will change his life and things will never be the same. says, 'I am fortunes fool.' he knows that events that follow are out of his control, everything lies in the hands of fate. He is right in saying this as it separates them as Romeo is banished.
Romeoand Juliet's death could be down to a number of things, their parents hate or the haste of their relationship but I believe it was entirely down to fate. They met entirely by fate and immediately fell in love. They begin a relationship filled with bad luck and then tragically both die. I believe their lives had been planned and there is nothing they could do to change the course of their destiny. Ithink It is obvious that Shakespeare had intended everything to happen for a reason and decided that fate would rule their lives.
When Mercuito curses both families a curse actually does occur, in Romeo and Juliet's death. Another example of how Romeo and Juliet's lives were ruled by fate is how each of their predictions of their early death actually comes true.
