The Eucatastrophe of His Story

from Houston Chinese Church - English · host Houston Chinese Church

Tolkien coined the term “eucatastrophe” to describe a joyful catastrophe that comes out of nowhere at the end of a story to change everything for the better. He argued that all stories with eucatastrophic endings—the ones that move us to happy tears—are simply echos of the grand Eucatastrophe of human history.
