Romeo and Juliet - Star Crossed Lovers

All of these elements conspire against the delightrs in a way that suggests nature itself is against the union. Nothing is more poignant in the drama than Romeo's wailing against the indifferent forces of the universe " more than light and light: more dark and dark our woes" as he must take leave from his beloved (Shakespeare, III, v, 37).

The lawsuit the cosmological forces are given credit for the ill-fated love of Romeo and Juliet is because no love in the universe can harbor all of the forces that work against the two.

We can see the complete belief in cosmological forces here, the same stiff forces that have deemed the love between Romeo and Juliet, despite its sincerity, ill-fated.
