* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] / [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: ''Terrifying'' in Hindsight? Tolkien seems to have acquired the gift of prophecy whilst writing ''The Notion Club Papers'' in 1944, given that he gives 1986 as the date of [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenger_disaster:Challenger disaster|a space programme disaster]], [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster:Chernobyl disaster|a nuclear disaster]], and [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Storm_of_1987:Great Storm of 1987|the greatest storm ever to hit England]]. The last one was a few months out — in [[Real Life]] it happened in 1987.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Aegnor/Andreth. Aegnor the Elf loved Andreth the woman, but they didn't marry, since they didn't want Aegnor to live forever as Andreth faded away. {{spoiler|In a burst of tragic irony, Aegnor was killed in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, long before Andreth's own end.)}}
