do you believe the story is already written or can a bold and corageous act change the course of history?

I have heard a few irish and scottish storytellers and I have noticed some commonality in the choice of accents for various characters
1 - the devil is always french
2 - the king is always british, but dim
3 - the king's evil advisor always has an oxford accent, and
4 - the hero is always irish or scottish
...ok, maybe not always, but often - and british films seem to favor the oxford accent for villains.
