What was Prince Hal's fate? To become the shinning lining of the dark storm clouds? As readers, we knew his background and we knew his future. And he did too. His soliloquoy about becoming the prince, the person he knew he would have to be. But there is a difference between having to do something and wanting to do something. He had to become kingly but he did it because it came to him. He wanted to. And Falstaff's fate? To become a drunken?
It seems to me that Hal escaped his fate. He turned away from Falstaff to become virtous. But at the same time, was that his fate all along?
