How It All Goes Down
- The concept of fate came from ancient Greek mythology: People believed that the Three Sisters of Fate would determine a child's destiny and life span within three nights of that child's birth.
- People don't believe in the sisters any more, but they do believe in fate, maybe because it makes tragedy easier to handle.
- Natasha's mother believes in fate and takes comfort in knowing there's a plan.
- Natasha believes in determinism, meaning that your actions determine your fate. Daniel's dad believes this, too.
- Daniel is somewhere in-between: Even if it was just a random chance that he met Natasha, once they met, the rest of their story was inevitable.
