Eru Ilúvatar’s rare but significant interventions reveal the intricate relationship between fate and free will in Tolkien’s narratives. In each instance, His actions were not merely to impose His will but to steer the narrative towards a greater purpose, reflecting the complexities of character fates in Middle-earth. The events of Gandalf’s resurrection, the destruction of Sauron, Gollum's fall, the alteration of the world’s form, and the demise of Numenor are profound reminders of the omnipresent influence of divine power, crafting a rich tapestry of lore that defines the epic saga of The Lord of the Rings.
