Question

Quote:
My problem was not so much with the idea of multiple eucatastrophes as it was with a eucatastrophe happening the same way twice. I lay particular stress on Tolkien’s statement that it “can never be counted on to recur.” However, I do feel that it is a fundamental principle that they never happen the same way twice and they must be unexpected.
Does that mean that one can only experience eucatastrophe once per occurence?
