Fate

"We meet the feminine face of fate also in the humble fairy tale of childhood. The word 'fairy' comes from the Latin fata or factum, which in French eventually translated into fee, enchantment.So fate not only avenges the transgression of natural law; she also enchants. She spins a spell, weaves a web like the spider who is one of her most ancient symbols, transforms a prince into a frog and send Briar-Rose into a hundred-year sleep."
