Fatalism

The view that events are fixed in advance and that human effort cannot alter them — that whatever happens was always going to happen. Fatalism is often contrasted with determinism (which allows that human choices are themselves causes within the chain of events) and with the lived experience of variance and chance. In literature, fatalistic narrators may foreshadow characters' deaths, frame their journeys as preordained, or strip characters of interiority and agency so that they appear swept along by forces larger than themselves.
