Your teacher probably wants you to say fate or fortune. It's not true, but it's the sort of thing that teachers say. In actuality, most of the characters in Shakespeare's plays are not controlled by fate or fortune. The play where fate seems to play the greatest role is Romeo and Juliet, who seem to be least in control of what is going on around them, and the least in Coriolanus, who makes his choices while seeing very clearly where they are going to take him. If the events in Othello are out of Othello's control, they are very much in Iago's control, not in the hands of some impersonal fate. The witches in Macbeth have been viewed as agents of fate, but it is Macbeth's actions to try to fulfill or thwart the witches' prophecies (and he does both) that shape the action of the story.
