问题     Romeo and Juliet was probably written in 1595, when Shakespeare was a young, successful playwright. He had already written comedies and history plays, but had not yet developed his skill at tragedy.
    The power of fate is strong in Shakespeare’s play. Chance and evil eventually join to bring tragedy. Chance involves Romeo in a murder, chance prevents a message from reaching Romeo in 6me, chance brings about deadly meeting in a cemetery.
    Many Elizabethans were followers of astrology (星相术) and believed that the stars could control events. Thus, Romeo and Juliet are referred to as "star-crossed lovers" whose stars doomed (命中注定) them to disaster.
    Elizabethans also had a concept of fate in the person of Dame Fortune (命运女神). By spinning her wheel, she could raise the state of a beggar or lower that of a king. One of the fascinations of Shakespeare is the way in which he put these ideas into the play.
    One of the most difficult things to decide about this play is the question of responsibility. Did irresistible fate bring tragedy to Romeo and Juliet, or were they themselves to blame? The fact that this question is not resolved by the author also helps to make Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet a fascinating work.  
What is unresolved about this play is ______.

选项 A、who is responsible for the tragedy
B、whether Romeo and Juliet are tragic characters
C、what the most fascinating element of the play is
D、how tragic fate can be avoided

答案A

解析 最后一段。究竟谁应对此悲剧负责尚无定论。也正因为此,《罗密欧与朱丽叶》如此不衰。
