Of course it includes the phrase "star-crossed lovers" which has a tendency to stick in the mind. But the whole idea of saying beforehand what is going to happen contributes to the feeling that the outcome is predestined. The normal human way of experience is not to know what is coming and to experience things in chronological order. Having someone tell you the result first makes what follows seem inevitable.

Explain.

    contributes to the feeling that the outcome is predestined. The

    normal human way of experience is not to know what is coming and to

    experience things in chronological order. Having someone tell you

    the result first makes what follows seem inevitable.

    If the device of telling the ending before the play starts seems

    strange, consider how many classic movies start with the ending and

    then tell the story as a flashback: Citizen Kane, Sunset Boulevand

    and Rebecca for example.
