Write a detailed
explanation why someone should never allow what they perceive as fate to
dominate their decision making
The definition of fate has never been truly written down or
set in stone for one to read and consider. Furthermore, when one decides to
venture into the unknown, their expectations of the outcome should be left
aside. When one has endured betrayal and heartbreak to the same extent as Said,
the ultimate goal for revenge is a general state of mind. To elaborate on this,
as Said is released from prison after 4 years, he believes that his path for
revenge and to seek justice is clear and considered to be fate. Like any tragic
hero, Said’s ultimate goal fails him in the end as he meets his final demise
when the tables of fortune turn. So what went wrong?
Perceiving fate as a reason to make rash decisions further
proves that what one has their mindset on doing will never truly be the
resulting outcome. When read with an analytical lens, themes just as justice
are portrayed through Said’s inability to accept change. For example, when he
is re acquainted with Rauf for the first time after his imprisonment, his old
friend’s success and adjustment to a “new future” serves as a significant shock
and game changer for Said as he remains stuck in the past, unwilling to accept
what his new start could lead to. It is this clear-cut vision of fate that
drives his revengeful state of mind and eventually leads him to his demise.
