Lord Cutler Beckett

A marriage interrupted... or fate intervenes?

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The question offers two accounts of the same interruption: a marriage has been disrupted, or fate has acted. Naming fate gives the event a possible significance beyond inconvenience. The alternatives invite interpretation without establishing which explanation the speaker believes or what outcome will follow.
