Belin,

You mentioned lmp's choice of Boromir's death as a eucatastrophe and then replied
Quote:
Maybe... I might choose, instead, the moment Pippin remembered him and committed himself to Denethor.
One, I really liked your analysis and hadn't thought Pippin's actions through that far before; and two, you're illustrating how varied interpretations can be of which point is the "one' climactic eucatastrophe in the story.

Now what if there were a reader who found lmp's choice the first time through the trilogy, your choice the second time through, and the third time through picked Faramir's vision as the eucatastrophe? Same person, three different eucatastrophes about the same character.

I don't think that that is invalid.
