Does Shakesphere seem to consider a self---destructive tendency inextricably with love, or is it a separate issue?

    actually thething is that we can take this issue in two dimensions one could be THE TREGEDY OF FATE, while the oher is TRAGEDY OF HASTE. the former one is mentioned right in the prologue with the indication as STAR-CROSS'D LOVERS, while the later one perhaps is the self-destructivetendency. Romeo was quite hasty in love of rosline and more hasty in falling out of it. similarly  getting married to juliet was the his mere haste and engulping the poision also, he never took a step to dig out the truth or talk to Friar Lawerance about the case.

    therefore it can be said that infact this tragedy is the appropriate mixture of both. fate and haste, and therefore to some extent Shakespeare has shown the element of self- destryction and self- dishevelment.
