Baron D`Holbach explained the world in the view of determinism where humans were not free but they were controlled by Nature. He believed that people are more likely to be under other influences rather than be the master of our own destiny. In the book The System of Nature, D’Holbach quotes that “Man, then, is not a free agent in anyone instant of his life.” This states that humans are always influenced by others and the environment from where they are born.

He says that Shakespeare only portrayed people as GOD created people with a little bit of outside influences, experiences which framed patterns for the ideas. However, Shakespeare’s wonderful stories would have not been in
