This article examines changes that have taken place in the interpretation of ideas of destiny and providence in American literature during the two centuries of its development. Typical features of these changes in the novels by prominent American writers Mark Twain and J. D. Salinger are explored. To identify specific elements of the ideas in the books under discussion, the authors have made a detailed investigation of these writers, as well as the structures and symbols in their works. The article offers a conclusion about different aspects of concepts analyzed in the 19th and 20th centuries. Problems of religion and morality have preserved their significance for the US population since the country’s foundation.
