Help me with an essay title?

I'm writing an essay on the existence of both fate and transience (The quick constant of change), in the play Romeo and Juliet. Although these two statements DO contradict each other (After all, does fate determine the choices and the changes in your life, or does the choices you make and the changes YOU make determine your fate? Hmm..) they also co-exist in this play and make it into the dynamic play that even 400- odd years later we still find so relatable and intriguing.

Keeping that in mind, I seriously need help coming up with a title that relates to what I'm writing about. Thank you!

    -Compatibilism in Romeo and Juliet

    -The Struggle for Free Will

    In very simple terms:

    Free Will: The ability to make choices of your own accord in life

    Determinism: Fatalistic in that everything is pre-determined

    Compatibilism: The idea that free will and determinism go together.

    It'll give bonus points for knowing the philosophical term which most of your level (guessing, since you're studying r+j which is h.s) aren't aware of yet :)
