Fortune

These lines from the play dialogue, Scene by Scene, demonstrate the existence of the Fortune Theme in the play, and indicate its significance. I count Fortune as a play Theme because it is a major factor in the course of events. The lines sometimes speak for themselves, but I include a brief comment where it seems necessary. I include only the more obvious occurrences of Fortune. There are subtle and implicit instances as well, which are not listed here.
