Romeo’s response to Juliet's supposed death in Act V, Scene iii reinforces the themes of fortune and fate by highlighting how miscommunication and timing lead to his tragic decision to take his life. His actions illustrate a surrender to fate, as he views himself as a victim of circumstances beyond his control. This fatalism ultimately portrays love as powerless against the harsh realities dictated by fortune.
