This article analyses the statement, “Destiny is Character,” in depth, with the study of African Literature and Greek Literature, especially with the plays „The Song of a Goat‟ by John Pepper Clark Bekederemo and „Oedipus The King‟ by Sophocles. Albert Einstein, a physicist, aesthetically exhibits about destiny as, “Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.” From his words, destiny sees everybody and everything in the same eye. It never shows difference to the divine or to the dust. This can be proved in the characters of Zifa and Oedipus who are tormented and rolled in the hands of fate and defeated at last.
