Silmarillion humour?
Is there any? The 'Lord of the Rings' is full of comic relief, as a thread proves. And 'The Hobbit' just cannot be taken seriously. But is there any humour in the Silmarillion? I find reason to smile for example in the story of Beren and Luthien: Sauron as a wolf escaping with his tail between his legs, Beren's and Luthien's disguises, Morgoth's failure and Beren coming to Thingol with the Silmaril in his hand and his hand in the belly of Carcharoth! Is it just my twisted mind, or does the great chronicle actually have some humour in it?
