A eucatastrophe is a term coined by J.R.R. Tolkien to describe a sudden and favorable turn of events in a story that brings about a positive resolution to a seemingly hopeless situation. It is a moment of unexpected and joyful relief, where the narrative shifts dramatically for the better, often providing a satisfying and uplifting conclusion. This device is used to create a sense of rescue or redemption in a story, offering hope and a happy ending after periods of intense struggle or despair.
