The Meaning of Star-Cross'd

First, some more proof.
Our play is obviously connected to other Shakespeare plays.
We are using characters from Midsummer Night's Dream: Puck, Oberon, Titania.
And from The Tempest: Ariel.
And as Anne said, our title is from Romeo and Juliet. Interestingly, these 2 plays (Romeo and Juliet and Midsummer) are many speculate to already be connected. The play within Midsummer about Pyramus and Thisbe is sometimes thought to be the source for Romeo and Juliet.  Both of these are tragic stories about lovers. Both of these end with the death of both of the lovers. Therefore are tragedies.

This brings me to my 2nd point. We need to be very clear about what genera we are making Star-Cross'd. We can really go to ways. If we call it a Romance, like Midsummer, the focus will be the mystical, magical aspects of the play; the fairy world and Puck's pranks in the forest. We could also make it a Tragedy like Romeo and Juliet, which is what the title Star-Cross'd might really make people think of. It would play up the fact that the lovers don't get to be together and focus on the sad ending. The other part of a Shakespearean Tragedy is that people die at the end. If we want to officially call it a Tragedy, I suggest that we make Puck's love commit suicide at the end because of miscommunication and Puck's forgetting. Like in Hemlet, there needs to be something of a body count at the end of the play.
