What are five quotes that blame/acknowledge fate (or a synonym) in Act V of Romeo and Juliet?

Fate is an important theme throughout the play, as acknowledged in the Prologue. In Act V, fate claims the lives of Count Paris, Romeo, Juliet and Lady Montague.


Act V, Scene 1, Line 25:



Romeo:


Is it e’en so?—Then I defy you, stars!—



Romeo intends to rebel against a fate ("stars") which he believes has taken Juliet away from him. He has already decided to join her in death.



Act V, Scene 2, Lines...

Fate is an important theme throughout the play, as acknowledged in the Prologue. In Act V, fate claims the lives of Count Paris, Romeo, Juliet and Lady Montague.


Act V, Scene 1, Line 25:



Romeo:


Is it e’en so?—Then I defy you, stars!—



Romeo intends to rebel against a fate ("stars") which he believes has taken Juliet away from him. He has already decided to join her in death.



Act V, Scene 2, Lines 17-20:



Friar Laurence:



Unhappy fortune! By my brotherhood,
The letter was not nice but full of charge,
Of dear import, and the neglecting it
May do much danger.





The Friar is acknowledging the role of "fortune" (fate) in the fact that Friar John, who was delayed by a plague threat, could not reach Romeo with the Friar's letter explaining his plan to have Juliet fake her death.



Act V, Scene 3, Lines 81-83



Romeo:



O, give me thy hand,
One writ with me in sour misfortune’s book!
I’ll bury thee in a triumphant grave.





Romeo laments that luck or fortune has been equally "sour" for both him and Count Paris, who happened to be at the tomb when Romeo arrived. Paris believed Romeo was vandalizing the tomb. They fought and Romeo killed the Count.



Act V, Scene 3, Lines 109-112:



Romeo:



O, here
Will I set up my everlasting rest
And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars
From this world-wearied flesh!





Romeo is about to take the poison, hoping that death will once and for all end the string of bad luck or fate (inauspicious stars) which has plagued him.



Act V, Scene 3, Lines 302-305:



Prince:



See what a scourge is laid upon your hate,
That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love,
And I, for winking at your discords too,
Have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punished.





The Prince acknowledges that fate ("heaven") has punished the Montagues and Capulets for their bitter hatred. The Prince too has been punished by having his "kinsmen" Mercutio and Paris killed.

What are some external and internal conflicts that Montag has in Fahrenheit 451?

 Montag, the protagonist of Fahrenheit 451, faces both external and internal conflicts throughout the novel. Some examples of these conflicts are: External Conflicts: Conflict with the society: Montag lives in a society that prohibits books and critical thinking. He faces opposition from the government and the people who enforce this law. Montag struggles to come to terms with the fact that his society is based on censorship and control. Conflict with his wife: Montag's wife, Mildred, is completely absorbed in the shallow and meaningless entertainment provided by the government. Montag's growing dissatisfaction with his marriage adds to his external conflict. Conflict with the fire captain: Montag's superior, Captain Beatty, is the personification of the oppressive regime that Montag is fighting against. Montag's struggle against Beatty represents his external conflict with the government. Internal Conflicts: Conflict with his own beliefs: Montag, at the beginning of th...

In A People's History of the United States, why does Howard Zinn feel that Wilson made a flimsy argument for entering World War I?

"War is the health of the state," the radical writer Randolph Bourne said, in the midst of the First World War. Indeed, as the nations of Europe went to war in 1914, the governments flourished, patriotism bloomed, class struggle was stilled, and young men died in frightful numbers on the battlefields-often for a hundred yards of land, a line of trenches. -- Chapter 14, Page 350, A People's History of the United States Howard Zinn outlines his arguments for why World War I was fought in the opening paragraph of Chapter 14 (referenced above). The nationalism that was created by the Great War benefited the elite political and financial leadership of the various countries involved. Socialism, which was gaining momentum in Europe, as was class struggle, took a backseat to mobilizing for war. Zinn believes that World War I was fought for the gain of the industrial capitalists of Europe in a competition for capital and resources. He states that humanity itself was punished by t...
