The two lines in the above excerpt from Shakespeare's “Romeo and Juliet” which foreshadows the tragic fate of Romeo and Juliet are:
“These violent delights have violent ends”
“Then love-devouring death do what he dare;”
The fate of Romeo and Juliet had a tragic ending because of the rivalry among the families. They became the victim of the rivalry which they have never been a part of. Misunderstandings, miscommunications and bad luck bring a tragic feel to the play. The audience feels pity for the couple who sacrificed their lives for true love. The scene in which both the lovers take their lives is the most tragic scene of the play.
