Original Sonnet
Sonnet:
Theres a plan for everything in this world.
Waves will surely break after they are formed;
The wind will always end once it has whirled.
Winters clutch will end when the Earths been warmed,
In summer, rain is guaranteed to fall.
Eventually the bear gets honey
An adult giraffe will always be tall.
Day will end and night will not be sunny.
In this nature, love is a humans fate,
But so is death; so well live as known how,
And fate is not something we can create.
Doth grace for grace and love for love allow, (2.3.92).
One day, you and Ill be separated;
Until then our love will be celebrated.

Explanation:

Chazotte 2
Throughout Shakespeares tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, he emphasized the love between
two star-crossed lovers from feuding families which were brought together seemingly by fate.
The tragedy demonstrated how the universes plan will always be followed as the couple
continued to express and act on their love while their families opinions of each other worsened.
The sonnet relates to this theme as it describes examples in nature and human behavior which
will inevitably happen. Every process or feature of the planet will eventually end due to fate, so
the line, Waves will surely break after they are formed; included in the poem acts as proof to
this truth due to its description of the waves course of action. The poem also writes how a
giraffe will always grow tall. This line follows fate because giraffes are designed to have lengthy
necks, so it becomes destiny to reach their genetic code. These examples were unable to be
chosen by the animals or natural forces included, similar to the love Romeo and Juliet felt for
each other as the couple was pressured to separate. Their feelings were too prominent to conform
to their families wishes and they were unable to follow the feelings of the closest people in their
lives. The lovers of Shakespeare's play would rather cease to live then continue without one
another, as the play included to the ending. This proves fate destined them to fall in love and
keep together, without their choice, until death. Overall, the play and sonnet demonstrate the
theme of fates undeniable ties to everything in the Earth and how details will unfold in a
lifespan, not by choice, but by destiny.
