Fate/stay night

The ancient Greeks acknowledged the role of Fate as a reality outside the individual that shaped and established human life. There are many themes in Oedipus the King; among them is whether man or a higher power crafts fate in this play, we can see that men have limited control over their destiny. Their fate is already decided by a higher power and cannot be avoided. No matter what path you choose or how you react, your destiny

“Is it e'en so? Then I defy you, stars!”(Rom 5.1. 24). The characters in Romeo and Juliet believe that the stars, or fate is against them. Throughout the play the two protagonists rushed into decisions or did not think about the consequences. Romeo and Juliet’s actions caused their own troubles rather than the blamed fate. The first altercation that was blamed on fate was when Romeo was banished. This could have been prevented, but instead Romeo lets his emotions take control rather than common

cannot marry the beautiful girl that he claims to be in love with. However, after Romeo had only known Juliet from one dance at the Capulet’s party, he claims, “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! /For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (1.5.52-53). Romeo contradicts himself by saying that he had never loved before when he had just been

Fate is a powerful force, and whether or not fate is a constant in life or a figment of the imagination is a question that will forever remain unanswered. However, the nature of fate is cruel in that its obscurity makes people question the purpose of life. These views are all dependent on this fundamental principle – whether or not the intellect is stronger than the mind. Man’s ability to choose and allow their intellect to thrive over their mind dictates their potential to take control over fate

Romeo and Juliet Tragedy of Fate or Tragedy of Character Romeo and Juliet is a story of a forbidden love, written by William Shakespeare. Some may say that it is a tragedy of fate. Fate is defined as forces outside of your control that makes things happen. An example of fate is when you miss your bus and meet the person who will turn out to be your spouse while you’re standing on the platform waiting on the next bus. I think Romeo and Juliet is the exact opposite of fate, they undoubtedly took things

was literally startled to death, ‘“He was so convinced that a dreadful fate overhung his family…”’ (14), to the point that he was so afraid of the hound that he would make arrangements to prevent going near the moor at night. Likewise, he avoided having a wife and children consequently because he didn’t want anyone to get hurt or cause any more mayhem in the Baskerville family. His only reasoning for going to the moor at night was by the reason of a cryptic person with the initials of L.L. had contacted

predetermined (which is known as fate). When a situation turns bad, a human will turn to the fight or flight response. The fight or flight response is a natural human response that occurs when a person feels distressed. In the book Night, a young boy named Elie struggles with surviving life in various concentration camps. In Elie’s case he wasn’t concerned with fight or flight.. Elie was challenged with the option of giving up or fighting for his life. People say that fate is responsible for Elie’s survival

uses both fate and free will to direct the lives of Romeo and Juliet and cause tragic outcomes. Most of the things in Romeo and Juliet’s lives are controlled by fate, while others are by their own free will. I believe that fate played a very big role in the lives and eventually the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. However, I also think that the characters may have been able to change their fate if they had the right mindset and made the right decisions. I believe that Romeo meeting Juliet was fate because

When I was still alive, I lived a mediocre life. I tried to a lot of good and tried to do nothing wrong. But that could not save me from my fate, on that lonesome night. Before that night, I had a young man stay with me at my house. I brought him in to help me around the house and take care of it after I die.

throughout the play she is set out to be a gentle, attractive and innocent woman. These factors have a great deal of importance in the play seeing that it is these qualities that lead to her death in the end. Desdemona’s name in itself means “bad-fate”. Her insisting
