All shakespearean plays are really big on he whole "fate" thing, never forget. Everything that happens is "fate" not due to their own flaws. Let's say Macbeth goes a little overboard and becomes insanely power-hungry , you'd still have to say it's because it was his fate (actually happens). The witches are a good example... since they pretty much decide his fate, unfortunately

I chose character but I don't know. I feel like they both work either way. I just need more examples really.
