Success through Failure - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Come to think of it, most events that initially look like failures (or at least highly unpleasant ones) turn out for the best.
Examples: Eowyn's failure to win Aragorn's love (or what she thought love) takes her to the Pelenor Fields, where she kills the Whitch-King and finally finds true love.
Gandalf's failure to appear in Bree on time helps to creating stronger bonds and trust between Aragorn and the hobbits, than if they were 'officially introduced'.
And...just a speculation...if Celebrian was still in M-E, who knows how she could have influenced the relations between her daughter and Aragorn. (Arwen doesn't look exactly the Luthien-type to me, who could go against her mother).
