Statement #2: If something is destined to happen, it will happen without your interference.

I agree with this statement, but only barely. In most societies, destiny exists in some form such as prophecies and fate but its there with an important presence. Whether it's vague or precise, it always has a role and usually it's undeniably permanent... but not always. Some people say you can change you future by just knowing about it and many do their best to deny it. People shouldn't follow a script but cultures insist that they should. For the most part, if something is destined to happen it will even if it is not the way it was supposed to occur.

In Macbeth, the witches, which function like fates, predict the main characters future and determine his destiny. Had he not killed King Duncan, the same  future would have come truee just not how Macbeth would've imagined. In the stories written during the time of Shakespeare, destiny and prophecy drive each story and what is predicted happens whether or not the characters interfere. Though some tales break the mold, these, such as Macbeth, remain true to the everlasting reliability of destiny.
