Pretty short and noninformative. The fault is fate. They are "starcrossed" says the chorus. They are doomed from the begining due to the supernatural (God, if you will) having predestined their course of action. This is the cause of all calamity in tragedies. The main character (Romeo) who the play is about (Juliet is the second character) has a personality flaw which connected with the circumstances of the play dooms him (and several others as was custom in the time of the writing).
