After nobody attempted to help him because of his jacket, he realized that he was going to die. He became more aware of the important things in life. He didn’t want to die by the street ramble. Consequently, the title of Royal brought him death and took everything that he could have in life. “I'm Andy, he screamed wordlessly, I'm Andy.” (P. 196) He began to hate his identity as a Royal and he want to die as Andy.
Besides, George knew that Lennie would not understand the reasoning behind Curley lynching him, he could have gone crazy and killed the whole ranch staff. George knew that, so he tricked Lennie into his own comfortable death. The fact that Lennie died next to his lifelong friend, imagining an unattainable dream that George and
Lenny kept on using the same phrase that he “should go off and live in a cave somewhere”. This is evidently not logical because George knew that Lenny could not have survived on his own, especially when an angry mob was chasing after him. Therefore, instead of yelling at him he actually did the opposite. He tried to
Duncan could never imagine that this will be true for Macbeth, whom he trusts the most. Duncan had no idea that Macbeth was going to kill him .On Louis first day of work, a collage student named Victor Pascow died. Yet before he passed, he told Louis that he should not go beyond the pet semetary or else bad things will happen to him. Like Macbeth, Louis was very puzzled about this “fate” and did not bother to acknowledge it. This fate/prophecy is ironic for Louis because he ends up going past the semetary, and burying his daughter’s cat, as well as his son.
Andy’s inadequacy to see his own identity disappear proved to be fatal for him. If Andy had realized that he was no longer “Andy” he may have left the gang and this would have saved his life. It takes a long time for Andy to realise this and when he does, it fills him up with sadness. His life would be over at 16, and it had been wasted to a title that he had not known
Friar Lawrence’s reckless actions brought together the deaths, and he blames them on fate. When Friar John tells him that the letter couldn’t be sent, Frair Lawrence decides to blame it on “unhappy fortune” and not himself (5.2.17).

This was because of the guilt of murdering the man and the fear of being caught.
When Ivan became ill he could do nothing but deny the inevitability of his death. He did not understand how this could happen to him as though he was invincible. Thoughts about his death brought on the ideas that his whole life seemed to have no purpose, that every milestone he encountered was meaningless. He starts to second guess every decision in his life and whether or not he could have lived them differently or made different choices along the way. These thoughts take over and consume Ivan.
One day this met my eye: THE LIE NAILED! -- By the sworn affidavits of Michael O'Flanagan, Esq., of the Five Points, and Mr. Kit Burns and Mr. John Allen, of Water street, it is established that Mr. Mark Twain's vile statement that the lamented grandfather of our noble standard-bearer, John T. Hoffman, was hanged for highway robbery, is a brutal and gratuitous LIE, without a single shadow of foundation in fact. It is disheartening to virtuous men to see such shameful means resorted to to achieve political success as the attacking of the dead in their graves and defiling their honored names with slander. When we think of the anguish this miserable falsehood must cause the innocent relatives and friends of the deceased, we are almost driven to incite an outraged and insulted public to summary and unlawful vengeance upon the traducer.
