Eucatastrophe
L' Eucatastrophe is a Néologisme forged by J.R.R. Tolkien which refers to the dramatic turn of events at the end of a history, resulting in the victory or the achievement of the search of the Protagoniste S. the word was created by prefixing the Greek word have , which wants to say good , at the end Catastrophe, the word traditionally used in traditional literature to indicate the outcome of a drama. This concept indicates the exact moment when the situation is turned over, where the evil, that one believed until there having to gain the combat, is finally overcome. The eucatastrophe should not thus be confused with the " happy end" (" end heureuse") : " they lived happy and had many enfants" a eucatastrophe is of nothing, because this sentence is a conclusion and not a reversal. Moreover, the " happy end" traditional is a closing, it does not allow really the later adventure since it is marked that nothing any more negative occurs. The eucatastrophe, on the contrary, faithful to a certain pessimism of Tolkien (which should not however be exaggerated), is always an opening: for the author of the Silmarillion, indeed, the evil, in our world, can be overcome only temporarily, and will continue to return until its final defeat at the time of the Fin of Times. The eucatastrophe is thus a reversal of situation in the good sense; but the future better than it promises is not intended to last.
