I was thinking that places in ME would make interesting themes, but then again, each sword would make a great theme, as would ANY individual object of ME history would.

Hoping a sword theme'd come out one of these months! smilies/smile.gif

[mark12_30]

How about more conceptual themes? For instance, Tolkien's theme concerning elves and preservation turning into a stagnation; subcreator having too much love for his sub-creation (Feanor, the Dwarves...) Eru's Gift to men, and how it has been misunderstood...

Tolkien's attitude towards Frodo's failure on Mount Doom, and whether it compares to Beren's "failure" to bring home the Silmaril, or Feanor's "failure" to surrender the Silmarils to the Valar... Gee, some English student should do that for a termpaper!

[Manardariel]

Gee, some English student should do that as a termpaper!

You´d be suprised, but our English Teacher let us do essays on anything sometime ago, and I did on the Eldar´s longing for Valinor and their grief. Not as complex as what you offered, but close... smilies/wink.gif

About themes, I´d say like to see something one LOVE. You know, Beren and Luthien, Sam and Frodo, Aragorn and Arwen... and what about a FELLOWSHIP theme? Not focusing on the members, but the Fellowship as such: the friendship, loyalty...

[Iarwain]

Hm. Manardiel, If you're interested in things of that sort (love and fellowship). Read Lewis's (the four loves).

I'm glad I changed it back to the boot too, Eressië, the jacket was just a temporary thing. I think that another good theme would be language (as it was the basis of middle-earth in it's creation).

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Mybe separate ones for different ME languages?

~Menelien

[Lathriel]

I like ALL the suggestions. I hope this will give the barrow whight some more ideas. It will be hard to choose which one will go first. smilies/smile.gif

[Neferchoirwen]

Languages would be a great theme. Too bad the language forum's not existing anymore. Nevertheless, it's a great way to attract people, once the said theme's up smilies/smile.gif

[Noxomanus]

Wizards,Sauron,Maiar in general,Dwarves

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

On topic- Pipeweed.
Off topic- Too bad the language forum's not existing anymore. It's still there, and some people still visit it. It's just that the link was cut off from the main site.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

I agree with Meela too! That would be interesting! smilies/smile.gif There could be another one of Sam. One can never have too much Samwise smilies/biggrin.gif . I also like the Beren and Luthien idea, or just plain Luthien. How about Eru? Or Tuor or Gondolin or Beleriand or Utumno or Angband or Bilbo or wargs or trolls or Gondor or Rohan or Mordor or Beleg Cuthalion or Beregond or Imrahil or Merry or Pippin or Treebeard or something/person/place cool like that.
