In modern tragedies, the role of "The Gods" is often eliminated or minimized, sometimes under the guise of "fate."
Fate is our destiny, however destiny can simply be transformed I think god planed out as long as we can remember regardless of the decisions we make he planed it. I trust that destiny assumes a part in our lives, in light of the fact that everything occurs for a reason, and in our lives it controls what we do, great or terrible.
