Coincedences Lead To Consequences Coincidences Lead to Consequences When people’s lives are determined by a “greater power” and the belief that the order of things is already decided is called fate. Some people, called fatalists, believe in this and that they have no power in determining their futures. Despite this, others believe that coincidence is the only explanation for the way their lives and others turn out. Thomas Hardy portrays chance and coincidence as having very significant roles in Tess of the D’Urbervilles. Three such coincidences were quite influential and had large effects on Tess’ future. The first was that Tess Durbeyfield’s father discovered that their family came from one of the oldest, and (at one time) one of the wealthiest families in England. Another event that takes place by mere chance in Tess’ life is when Tess slips a letter of confession underneath both her lover’s door and (by accident) his carpet, where he could not see it. The final coincidence would be the death of Tess’ father, which not only leaves Tess in a state of deprivation, but also the rest of her family including her mother and six siblings.
