Fate means chance events out of your control. If you are a victim of fate, you experience very bad luck.
Oedipus would be a famous example:

Fate must be kept separate from irony. Fate is a force that acts on characters while irony is a literary term describing an outcome that not only goes differently than expected, but does quite the opposite. Fate is the force behind the meeting of Romeo and Juliette since their families hated each other. Irony is like the Alanis Morisette song: "needing a knife and finding 10,000 forks; a no smoking sign on your cigarette break, etc.
In Shakespeare's MacBeth, the main character meets three witches who tell him he is to be made king. That is his destiny. Fate makes him a victim when MacBeth and his wife conspire to kill king Duncan when he makes a royal visit to their castle.
Fate makes Romeo and Juliette fall in love before they realize their families have been feuding.
Hope this helps.....good luck!
