Explain how this idea of being “star-crossed” relates to both Romeo and Juliet AND Oedipus the King.

Romeo and Juliet is like Oedipus the king because of the love Romeo and Juliet had was frowned on and not allowed to happen. Oedipus fell in love with his mother, making his love basically forbidden. They are similar for their forbidden loves.. I hope that this helps.
