O fortune, fortune! all men call thee fickle:
If thou art fickle, what dost thou with him.
That is renown’d for faith? Be fickle, fortune;
For then, I hope, thou wilt not keep him long,
But send him back.
– William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, Act 3, Scene 5. As Juliet says goodbye to her new husband Romeo after the lovers’ one and only night together, she appeals to fortune to send Romeo back to her. It is the last time they see each other alive. Fortune is personified here in this passage highlighting the theme of fate vs free will.
