Fate In the play King Lear fate decides where each person will go‚ how they live and how they die. Each character in the play believes in god or a higher power that is responsible for the good and unfortunate events in their lives. Fate places situations on each of them and it is up to the characters to decide how they will play out the situation. Each character blames the gods for their ill fortunes and complicated lives. When one lives under the notion that there is a divine power guiding them

world. That is the basic idea behind fate and destiny. However‚ there is a difference between the two. Destiny allows a person to actively shape their future whereas fate will occur because or in spite of their actions. Fate is what is shown in the two plays Macbeth by Shakespeare‚ and The Oedipus Cycle by Sophocles. In both dramas‚ the characters are not in control of their own lives. Instead‚ they are playthings of the gods‚ and as they tamper with their fate‚ unfortunate things happen to them.

Looking at fate as the general intellect would define it‚ it seems unmovable‚ unbeatable‚ and impersonal. However‚ foreshadowing Aeneas’ destiny with the general definition of fate‚ makes for a pretty boring story. Luckily‚ Virgil defined fate very differently through The Aeneid. Instead of allotting fate with a secondary role‚ Virgil brought fate into the limelight by putting it on par with the other greek gods in terms of might‚ morality‚ and power over humans. While some would define fate as an impersonal

Although Fate does seem at times to be a device to advance the plot of the Aeneid or to control the character’s actions‚ fate‚ because of its place in Roman thought‚ actually plays a larger role. Fate is included by Virgil in his Aeneid to assert through the narrative that the foundation of Rome was divinely ordered‚ and that this city was destined to become a great empire. If not for Fate‚ Aeneis‚

"Antigone"‚ fate plays a vital role in the story because fate controls the people‚ according to beliefs Greek culture. For example‚ Antigone accepts her inescapable fate and the consequences of burying Polyneices‚ despite Creon’s refusal to give him a proper burial. Her acceptance of her fate is shown through her respect towards the gods and her disdain towards Ismene’s lack of respect: “Since apparently the laws of the god mean nothing to you‚” (line 63). Antigone’s loyalty to fate and the gods

Fate is the essential idea of The Aeneid‚ but more importantly‚ the underlying force throughout the text. Fate cannot be changed; it is the set of events with the inevitable result. Virgil uses the idea of fate to narrate and advance through his epic poem‚ but perhaps also to illustrate that the gods had originally intended for Rome to become a great and powerful empire. The king of gods‚ Jupiter‚ has chosen Aeneas and his preordained path to destiny‚ by leading the Trojans and creating the foundations
