Ideally eucatastrophe would be an objective quality. Viewing a tragic play or movie or reading a tragic novel, however, there will be some who cry at the end and some who won't; it is not somehow less tragic for those who cry because there are some who don't. The same, I think, applies to a eucatastrophic piece of literature.
