Can someone please help me with this?

What role does fate play in the events of Romeo and Juliet? How are the young lovers victims of misunderstandings, miscommunications, and plain bad luck? How do these elements influence the way readers and audience members are affected by their story? I need two paragraphs...

Say something about how irony is used in the story. When Romeo thinks Juliet is dead he drinks the poison to kill himself. She was just pretending to be dead though. And then she wakes up and sees him dead and then kills herself. So they all wanted a happy ending but couldn't have it. It's ironic because they went to all the trouble to be together when they just die anyways.
