The antagonist is fate in this case. Take Tess of the d’Urbervilles as an example. A lot of what happens to Tess, the title character, happens by a stroke of (bad) luck. Fate is what opposes her.

It is the constant struggle of man to change his destiny.
For those who believe in predestination, a man can only do so much but will still end up to what he is destined to be. These are the kind of people who will consult tarot card readers or crystal ball readers and other "seers" to see how they will fare in life (they will be poorer when they leave the session, I bet 100% on that).
IMO, believing in fate is a fatalistic attitude. If every person is indeed predestined to be so, then why study, why work, why do anything at all? We all struggle to improve ourselves, we try to learn, we try to apply what we learn, we try to help others, we want to leave our present situation and find something better. If there is such a thing as fate, then such actions manifest the constant struggle to avoid that.

Fate hands down.But you cannot blame everything on fate.You just do your duty and leave the rest to god.If you think you are not rich or that you are not getting proper raise in job and blame it on fate.Then you have already lost the race with fate.Just think i must work even more harder for my promotion.At least you will have the consolation that you have tried your level best and leave the destiny to god.But when opportunity knocks just grab it and later dont blame it on fate for wasted opportunity.Man's destiny is written when he was born.You cannot change it.
