A Catholic Journey Through the Lord of the Rings
The discussion begins with Gandalf’s awareness that Quest has been achieved, the role of the Eagles, and the drama of Sauron’s demise. Patrick and Andrew then delight in the eucatastrophic joy experienced by Sam, Gandalf’s fountain of laughter, and the minstrel’s singing of Frodo and Sam’s accomplishment. They reflect on the taste of heavenly joy Tolkien gives his readers while still remembering that it is only temporal.
