Timely Interventions in Tolkien
This chapter explores the theme of unexpected external help in Tolkien's works, focusing on interventions that occur just when needed. It analyzes the concept of 'eucatastrophe' and how characters like Bilbo and the Eagles embody these narrative turns that lead to positive outcomes. By drawing connections to classical storytelling theories, the discussion delves into the significance of these interventions and their impact on the integrity of the narrative.
