Question # 3: Romeo and Juliet both had many feelings when they found out each other's identities. I think they both were extremely surprised to find out that they were from rival families. I believe that Romeo was more surprised about this because he thought he was in love with Rosaline, but then he met Juliet. After he thought he was in love with Juliet, he figured out she was a Capulet. That is why I think Romeo was more surprised by this. I also Think Juliet was very surprised too. She also thought she liked someone which was Paris. But then she found Romeo. She thought she loved Romeo but then second-guessed it because she found out that Romeo was a Montague. Juliet is actually taking this better than Romeo because Romeo is still a little heart-broken about Rosaline. If this were to happen to me, I would not give up. Even though we would be in rival families I would find a way.
Question # 2: There are many concepts of love presented by the female characters in Romeo and Juliet. Juliet and Romeo have a good romantic love together, but also a forbidden love. For example, at the Capulet's party there was love at first sight with Juliet and Romeo. But at the same time there families are rivals. Also, there was a lack of love with Rosaline and Romeo. Even though Romeo thought that he loved Rosaline she promised that she would never love anyone so that is why there is a lack of love with them. Love and lack of love differ in many ways. Love is when you truly like someone all the time. Lack of love is sort of opposite. Lack of love is where there is no love. There are a lot of examples of love and lack of love in the book Romeo and Juliet.

I do not believe in fate for many reasons. I think that people have total control over their own destiny. For example, in Romeo and Juliet they don't even know each other at the start and even Romeo likes someone else. But, after Romeo makes decisions on his own, he realizes that he likes Juliet. He ended up falling in love with Juliet because he made his own choices and not fate. He was basically under his own free will so that means he made his own decisions. That is one reason why I do not believe in fate.
Another reason I don't believe in fate is because it is possible for people to make their own choices in life. For example, I can make my own choices under my own freewill. If I chose not to write this blog, I would be making my own decision, which is not fate. (That would not be a good choice, though). So that means that making your own choices is possible, and I do not think fate exists. Because Romeo and Juliet make their own choices, it is not fate, and they are under their own freewill. That is why I do not believe in fate.
