Answer:

It shows the irony of the love between Romeo and Juliet, who were never meant to be.

Step-by-step explanation:

Star-crossed lovers is a phrase used to show that the lovers randomly met, and were never meant to fall in love without a complete coincidence. Death-mark'd portrays how their love is frowned upon by their opposing families and they're going to die for their love.
