One message of the novel Brick Lane by Monica Ali is that people are in control of their own fate. Nazneen has been taught her entire life that her fate is predetermined and there is no use in trying to fight against it. However, she begins to learn that she has the power to influence the course her life takes, rather than being a passive observer. In this way, the novel drives home the idea that people have the power to decide what course their life takes and must never stop making their own choices...
