Romeo and Juliet on a Bad Luck

Throughout the story of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare bad decisions are made and bad luck happens. Romeo and Juliet are victims of bad luck. Bad luck is uncontrollable and even though nobody likes it, it still exists. But there are also bad decisions that are made. With all these bad decisions and unfortunate bad luck, it makes the story complete. They are also the reasons why Romeo and juliet have such a fateful outcome.
