“These violent delights have violent ends”, is a warning that friar Lawrence delievers to that Romeo doesn’t heed which leads to his eventual demise, Shakespeare is using the character of Friar Lawrence to emulate the character of fate.
Such is the theme of Romeo and Juilet by William Shakespeare; his whole play is orchrestrated to prove this point: That violence will come of violence
Fate is revealed in Romeo and Juilet in many ways, but one of the most important is through the plot device is co-incidence. Like in the play the only way the Montagues would have ever known of the Capulets masquerade is by the co incidence of the illiterate servant asking for help. Let me elaborate, the illiterate servant asked for Romeo’s help since he did not find any other person on the path he was walking on and happend upon Romeo. It was only because Romeo saw the guest list that the illiterate servant showed him he said yes to Mercutio(Romeos best friend) to crash the masqerade, which led him to see Juliet which led to his death and in the end this all leads back to Friar Lawrence. It was Friar Lawrence who made the plan which led the star crossed couple to the catherdral in which they died.
Even from the begginng of Romeo and Juliet their lives seem to going into a ripple effect when you have the resource of hindsight.

This is a good set of ideas. Now you will want to work on your written expression. You’ve used some good words (eventual demise is a particularly apt phrase in that respect), but the whole paragraph doesn’t hold together as a clear explanation.
One way to test the fluency of your writing is to read it aloud. Often this will reveal the problems in the sentence structure, and your spoken voice will often give you the solutions you need too.
Be careful with all writing, at all times, to consistently use capital letters where they are needed. This will help that practice to become second-nature.
You’ll also need to find and add quotations to support your points at the end of the paragraph.

This is nicely developed – you have now thoroughly explained the action of fate in your example and also pointed your reader to the idea that fate is hinted at throughout the play.
As I said in my earlier feedback, your writing still needs examples in the form of quotations – and there are still some issues with the mechanics of punctuation and spelling that you’ll need to attend to.
I like how this is developing, Aadi, and look forward to the next version.
