Free will vs. destiny

When Tolkien wrote LOTR do you guys think that he was leaning more toward free will as the determining factor of the plot of the story or do you think that he tried to write it more as that the characters were fated to do what they did?
In my opinion he tried to do both, but I would like to hear other people's opinions.
