No, their characters were just more revealed as a result of their circumstances. There are plenty of people who find themselves in that situation and overcome it.
You mean who perservere despite the adversity, right?
No doubt.
But the former studio musican drummer who broke his neck cannot, by dint of his forceful character and strong will, overcome that handicap.
My entire point is merely to refute the overstatement (or mistaken belief) that ones FREE WILL (read character) is everything that matters to the outcome of one's life.
Obviously character is damned important to one's life.
But FATE is no less important.
