I like Tolkiens theme of everything working out in the end. Eru states that even when others do evil, it is really doing his will.

I disagree with the idea of a supreme will guiding us, but think that in the conflict of good and evil, it is really good that is being served. The conflict promotes changes for the better, whereas lack of conflict leads to stagnation.

Want to know my least favorite theme? His constant use of his greatest heros as the most flawed charactors. Feanor, Turin, Turgon, Thingol, etc...
