Long story short, none of the things that happened were Hurin's fault. He was a great hero. His son let him down but a lot of that was Morgoth's doing, too. How does one go 30 years between Silmarillion readings? I can't go a week without reading or listening to some part of it. I admire your self control.

It was actually quite comical, IMO, until the dope decided to fall into a ravine.

I think it was quite cruel and uncalled for, actually.

You can do whatever you like to the other one.

*hugs Gildor and Glorfindel* (now you're after my top TWO elves in LotR)
Stay away from them, you nasty Nazgúl.

Gildor is actually the reason why I sort of dislike all Elves. I hated Gildor on my first LOTR reading and still dislike him (though now I understand his reasons better). After reading Silm, I have mellowed towards Elves in general, but there are some LOTR ones that I still can't stand.
And... Did I mention Galadriel? Now making her play Saeros would be fun. I remember I read a fanfic where Khamul took Lorien and had Galadriel's head shaved... A balm to my nazgul heart |

That looks like kind of an Elven version of ... who was that guy? Fabio?

That's the root of Feanor's problems. He can't believe it's not butter!

My definition of 'great hero' doesn't overlap with medieval romance a lot. It's probably a style issue. I know. I'm a complete apostate. I prefer 'strict constructionist',myself.

*cough* *sputter* *gets out wood to burn the heretic* *gets splinter* Owww! Well, maybe not. I'll let her be. It is a matter of taste, though. I think The Silmarillion is one of those books you either love, or it's torture to get through. I consider myself lucky to be among the former.

I am sincerely touched by your restraint. Thanks.
Much of what interests me in the material has to do with specifically literary issues, and I find those subsumed by the emotional connections people make, which is great. Literature should move us, and this does.
