With discussing Thingol of late and how he started to fall from grace I became aware I had missed a rather important development with him in this chapter. Going by how he rather disliked Men before he got one as son-in-law, he really became convertred by the time Túrin came around.
He takes Túrin as his foster-son, now that is nothing to sneeze at, certainly not because he was king. This isn't just grudging sympathy for these base mortals, this is as much respect as he would give to an Eldar noble. And he doesn't drop him the moment if becomes uncomfortable with the whole Saeros-business. He actually was improving! |
