I'm writing an essay on Romeo and Juliet and everything must be in present tense in an essay. Is "star-cross" a word?

My sentence is "Their love is based on sight, is star-crossed, bringing too many consequences, and was driven by sex. "

Razhie is right- the only "tense" part of the sentence you need to change is the "was driven by sex", which you can change to "is driven by sex." Also, so many commas can be confusing. I understood what you were talking about because I've read the play, but if someone who was not familiar with the play read your essay, they need to be able to understand what you're talking about. You might want to break that sentence in half to avoid having long, drawn-out thoughts. Example: "Their love is based on sight and is star-crossed, or __(definition of star-crossed)__."
