The Black Crochan is the fifteenth chapter of The Black Cauldron. Here the hero makes a major sacrifice to obtain the object of the story, and learns of yet another sacrifice that must be made to dispense with it. One of the most important chapters in this book or in the entire series, the theme of noble self-sacrifice is given full development, as is the grief that comes from that loss, no matter how noble.
