"A greater power than we can contradict; hath thwarted our intents" is a quote in which of Shakespeare's play?

"A greater power than we can contradict; hath thwarted our intents" is a quote in William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet". This quote is used at the end of Act 5, Scene 3 by the Friar Lawrence, a good friend to both Romeo and Juliet. He tells Juliet that a "higher power"—either God or fate—has ruined the couple's plans.

Literary scholars like to say that if fate had allowed Juliet to wake up even 2 seconds before Romeo committed suicide, they both would have lived. But that was not what happened. Juliet killed herself because she couldn't bear the death of Romeo, her only great love and husband. It is therefore evident that fate is the cause of their tragic end, and their families' new beginning.

The "individuals" who get the most blame for the deaths of the two lovers are Lord Montague and Capulet, the leaders of the feuding families. The families and their long-standing hatred made it impossible for Romeo and Juliet to express their love openly. The final results in this instance could then have been predicted, even if there was almost no chance or just a very remote possibility.
