every step? It was common Greek belief that every man had a destiny, but his free will determined how much he suffered. Many famous heroes in Greek mythology like Odysseus, Orpheus, and Oedipus made bad decisions that caused them great suffering. Oedipus is not a pawn of fate, but rather has a certain degree of free will in his actions and is responsible for all the decisions he makes.

In many stories, characters are affected by fate and free will. Three stories with characters affected by fate and free will are Romeo and Juliet, a tragic love story, Pyramus and Thisbe, a story about The tragic end of two lovers, and Six of crows, a story in which a team of criminals infiltrate a prison for a large reward.

They did this in response to Apollo’s prophecy that Oedipus would grow to live a…

However, what if the choices we make every day were not as voluntary as we once thought? You would this to be impossible, would you not?
