star crossed lovers- Romeo and Juliet have families that don't mix well together. Romeo's fate is to be with a woman from a more "honorable" family. Juliet's fate is pretty much the same. Death marked love foreshadows the death of Juliet in which she kills herself because she loves Romeo and Romeo is dead. The whole storyline of the play is a little hard to keep up with, but I hope my answer helped.
