The first weekend, 16 vendors took over an old classroom. The result was ah instant hit. Today, the market draws up to 70 vendors-who sell such items as homemade jellies, baked goods, hand-woven rugs, and farm-grown produce-and what Pinkelman calls an unexpected number of visitors.

He had already written comedies and history plays, but had not yet developed his skill at tragedy.The power of fate is strong in Shakespeares play. Chance and evil eventually join to bring tragedy. Chance involves Romeo in a murder; chance prevents a message from reaching Romeo in time; chance brings about a deadly meeting in a cemetery.Many Elizabethans were followers of astrology （星相術(shù)） 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 （命運女神）. 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 respo
