: Re: A grand scheme or destiny in literature There's one thing in literature that no matter how cliche or over used it might be, I always find very compelling. For example, when a story unfolds

A good example would for what you're talking about may be found in the Harry Potter series, in which, correspondingly to your EDIT, there is a spotlight on Harry Potter being the chosen one.
Her literary shortcomings aside, Rowling weaved the most intricate plot i have ever witnessed in a series. In fact, upon finishing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, i was completely mind-bugled trying to comprehend the scope and cross-book connections of the series.
She also utilizes plenty of flashbacks containing crucial information on the protagonist and antagonist.
I haven't heard of a term for what you're describing, but as for an example, i daresay you'd be hard pressed to find one better than Harry Potter.
