# How does Such Is Life develop the theme of Fate and Coincidence?

> Such Is Life by Joseph Furphy

## Answer

Such Is Life by Joseph Furphy develops Fate and Coincidence across the chapters the companion marks for this theme.

Collins frequently notes the 'cussedness' or 'strange fatality' that drives him back to places like Runnymede, emphasizing the role of chance, unintended consequences, and the ironic twists of 'such is life.'

The chapter emphasizes chance encounters and unforeseen outcomes, such as the search for the gilgie and the debate about cattle.
