OK. So when we first see Mrs. Hawking she is telling Desmond what he must do to fulfill his part in the future. She makes a strong point with the red shoe guy that destiny must be fulfilled. When her story unfolds she also seems to know her own destiny, and that of her son Daniel, with the foreknowledge that she will kill her own son. At the point she shoots Daniel while simultaneously being pregnant with him seems to close the ends of a looping segment of time. That older Daniel appears in Charlottes memory as a child during the evacuation of the island reinforces the idea of a closed segment of time repeating. This appears to be the ultimate representation of destiny, the inability to deviate from already established events. Daniel finally "solves" his theory of time travel during the time jumps, and his time with the Degroots, with the statement that people are the variables in the equation and the future (past) can be changed, that free will trumps destiny.
So the question is in light of the Altiverse/ending was Hawking guiding events, already knowing of the ability to change the past, but unable to do it herself, or a prisoner of destiny, rigidly repeating events she had already experienced?

. So the question is in light of the Altiverse/ending was Hawking guiding events, already knowing of the ability to change the past, but unable to do it herself, or a prisoner of destiny, rigidly repeating events she had already experienced? I think she wanted desparately to change the past, but the sad truth was she could not, making her one of the more tragic figures. The Altverse allowed her to play out her fantasy of her son as a musician rather than the mathematician/physicist that ended up travelling to the past (and being killed by her younger self). But the exercise was just that - a form of fantasy, a construct.
