The ending of The Alchemist

Finishing The Alchemist

The Alchemist leaves gold with the monk in case Santiago needs it even though he's close to his treasure. He explains w/ this proverb: "Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time." What does this mean?


The proverb "Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time." means that not everything is set stone but if has a will it has a way would be the best way to describe it. A one time thing is never bound to happen again. And something that consistently comes back will forever find a way.

  1. Maybe. I kind of read it that it's unlikely for things to repeat. But it also happens all the time.
