Some say we choose our fate, and some others say we follow our fate. When we think about it, they are both right. Morgan le Fay talked about fate very impressively. The opinion about fate of the author was so strongly expressed in some scenes and quotes, I felt as though she was trying to tell us about not only the legend of Camelot, but also Ў°FateЎ±.
