Fate Vs. Freewill “From fourth the fatal loins of these two foes a pair of star crossed lovers take their life; whose misadventured piteous overthrows.” The role of fate plays an extremely important role in this play.

The film The Great Gatsby directed by Baz Luhrmann and produced in 2013 was a commendable representation of the book by F. Scott Fitzgerald that it was based off of. The roles of the main characters Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio)‚ Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan)‚ Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton)‚ and Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) were played on point.
