Abstract
The article deals with principles of fate actualization in English. The research data includes examples collected through the complete selection from dictionaries, thesaurus of English metaphors, fiction texts etc. All examples are divided into blocks according to the actualized phenomenon: «fate-luck», «fate-failure», «fate – doom, inevitability», «man – the master of his destiny». The analysis showed that fate in English is actualized by metaphors, which are formed by verbs in the semantics of which there is a seme «(quickly) move in space» – o fall, to throw, to swim, to escape, to run; adjectives with the seme «poor quality» – ill; «desired» – full; adverbs – down, through; nouns, which contain the semes «vague, blurred» – ghost, fade.
