The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

"Death you can give me earned or unearned; but the names I will not take from you of baseborn, nor spy, nor thrall. By the ring of Felagund, that he gave to Barahir my father on the battlefield of the North, my house has not earned such names from any Elf, be he king or no."
Beren to Thingol

I've also been told I look like Arwen, and I can only assume that the innocent person who told me that has never read any of Tolkien's work. smilies/tongue.gif

I'd probably be Galadriel.

No, they didn't know eachother previous to the war.

It didn't seem sudden to me, actually. I thought that it worked very well. They seemed similar from the beginning, so I think Tolkien intended...

No, I don't get that feeling. She was her great-great-granddaughter and looks something like her, and shared her doom. But my understanding is that's about it.

NyteSky: Well, we must agree to disagree. I see the hobbits as having hope; they're more loyal to Frodo than anyone else, and that is the quality I view as having saved Samwise.

"One by one, it will destroy them all."

No one is immune to the ring, otherwise Gandalf would have taken it from the beginning. And he's a maia, so I'm assuming the higher powers would be the only...

Hobbits strike me as the happy medium for most people, so I like them a lot, but I'm more of a human/elf person. It really depends who we're talking about, now that I think about it. If we aren't...

Excluding an orc:

There is no way in heaven or on Earth that I could kill someone.

I don't know that I'd lay it out quite that way. I mean, I liked HP just fine. But it is inferior fantasy, one way or another.

I suppose it depends on how you view the importance of him remaining at Rivendell. I would consider that something he should do, and since he did it, I can't call him a wuss.

In the sense that you need both, I like them both. I prefer the "good guys," however. They have more character to get into.
