In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo's fatalistic nature is established early in the first act when he expresses his misgivings about going to the Capulet fete:
I fear too early. For my mind misgives
Some consequence, yet hanging in the stars,
Shall bitterly begin his fearful date
With this night's revels, and expire the term
Of a despised life closed in my breast...(1.4.113-117)
So, analyzing Romeo's remarks in the context of his character and not just the statement of the moment, which will provide more insight, the reader discerns that Romeo is haunted by his previous forebodings and now understands that the "fearful date" of the stars has come; consequently, he realizes that he is a "fool" since he has earlier sensed the ominous presence of Fate, and, acting rashly and with effeminency--as he accuses himself--he has allowed himself to meet its "date."
