I chose the theme of fate because throughout the 18th century every character has a fate of what the end of their story looks like. I also noticed that the fate of those stories can be good and bad. In the Romantic period many fates are obvious and not hard to know before the story is over and these stories often end predictable. In the Victorian period authors start to get creative with the plot of stories, this makes the fate of the characters unpredictable, and the ending does not end with a predictable ending like the Romantic period. In the modern period authors choose the ending to have fewer pleasing predictable endings. Modernist poets often want their poems and stories to be relatable to reality of their readers. Throughout each period, all characters get an ending, but that doesn't not mean their fate was decided before the story started.
