Define fate. Does that accelerate the plot in this scene? Explain

Fate is the development of events beyond a person's control by an outside supernatural power. Act one sc 2 pretty much seals Juliet's fate to marry Paris. Although her father says Parris must woo his daughter at the party, he pretty much expects her to marry him. Of course Juliet will try to challenge this fate after she meets Romeo . This will have devastating consequences.
