In my previous examples no one quite grasped that their fate was already decided. Friar Laurence, taking on the wise role that he’s supposed to represent, is the one to realize this first, but not until he has found the bodies of Romeo and Paris in the tomb. Realizing his plan has failed, and turning to Juliet he says, “A greater power than we can contradict hath thwarted our intents” (V.iii. 159-160). Let me just say that in those lines, instead of taking responsibility for his actions, Friar puts it on fate. Just putting that out there. Even so, there is still a deep level of truth to what he has said- fate has made its decision. In these words Friar fully acknowledges his plan has failed, and now only wishes to get himself out of there before people arrive and start making
