1. Time Management/Goal Setting
Now, although chances of making the mistake of giving a very important list and telling a servingman who cannot read to seek the people on the list are extremely slim but the fact that he gave the list to Romeo, the one person he wasn't supposed to, and afterwards inviting them when he says "and, if you be not of the house of Montagues, I pray come and crush a cup of wine" (I, ii, 86-87) is very odd, and quite ironic, but just happens to be a coincidence that people often mistake as fate
But he still was physically and verbally given the task making it someone's fault and not destiny's.
Another act which is often mistaken as fate is when Romeo goes to the party and first meets Juliet. Now it's very likely and believable that his foreshadow on the whole tragedy before the party when he says "I fear too early, for my mind misgives some consequence yet hanging in the stars" (I, iv, 113-114), was in fact fate or destiny, but the fact that he went, not because he was forced to, rather persuaded thanks to Mecurtio, but in the end of it all he went because he wanted to. He could have not gone and prevented this whole catastrophe, but he didn't, he went and because of that many believe it was fate not his own actions, but that's like saying a person lies because of fate, not because they were trying to get away with something. .
Finally, the most important of acts mistaken as fate is when the Messenger does not reach Romeo in time. This is the most important because even if everything had gone it's course, this act alone could have saved them, made them happy, and like all fairy tale stories they would have lived a happily ever after type of life. Many people think this is fate because it is such a awful circumstance and coincidence, but it was just because he couldn't make it into Mantua due to "fear of infection" (V, iii, 16) as Friar John says. So what many people believe is fate is actually how the timing of a plague in a city made Friar John's ability to see Romeo impossible.

Forgoing the traditional, boring Franco Seffirelli style of R&J filming, director Baz Luhrmann (Strictly Ballroom) has created an awesome visual pastiche that brings the Bard's vision of hopeless love amisst chaos and enmity to flashy, vivid life. ...
