Writers often use “chance” to underscore the unpredictability of life, imbuing pivotal moments with a sense of randomness or fate. At times, it suggests a life-altering opportunity—one that might rescue a soul or alter the course of events ([1], [2])—while elsewhere it highlights the seemingly arbitrary nature of circumstances that propel characters into unexpected situations ([3], [4]). In some works, chance is personified almost as a force, its interplay with destiny and personal ambition creating dramatic tension and underscoring themes of luck versus effort ([5], [6], [7]). Whether offering a moment of decision or turning the tides of fate, “chance” emerges as a versatile motif that enriches narratives by blending hope with the element of the unforeseen ([8], [9]).
