Yep! In that sense I'm as worried about my friends(and people of my country) as Frodo was about the Shire.

Thanks for the clarification about the first quote. I meant in a different way actually.
Why did Melkor desire the Silmarils? Not for himself certainly. Though my impression was that he'd want them...

Did Melkor lust after Silmarils? I think not. I feel he stole them because they contained the light of the Two Trees; and he wanted them to keep from good side i.e. Valar. Light represents hope, and...

Forget Downer, there's no Tolkien fan here. Though I really, really want to meet people here. That's possible only if someone visits India. ;)

Yep! Professor Tolkien's characters are grey shaded--neither black nor white. And despite showing them flawed they are shown lovable and that they are. Movies seem to rob this from the characters. ...

They ate dwarves? I think that's Sauron's job to do- something that I already mentioned.


More than the Elves I found dwarves were rude and mannerless. This is why I was too suprised to see them...

Actually, yes. But there's no one here who drinks-- not someone I know personally; and I never paid attention in my Chemistry class where these techniques were explained- may they had something told...

A Hindi song Hum rahe ya na rahe kal reminds me of the age that is passing. The song's about moving on in life, and when you move on, only memories remain with you- good and bad. So fits LOTR very...

I feel PJ exaggerates a lot. AUJ had lots of "exaggerated" stuff too. Wars, Wargs, Orcs etc. were way too much. Thorin being kind of a jerk is also a part of the exaggeration that movie makers are...

Would you please elaborate explaining this?


Is it also because the Fruits of the Trees covered the entire Arda with their light- night and day, and even Morgoth feared them.?

Jeez! I hope what you're saying is true, and the rumour doesn't end up being true too. I think PJ has already made TS members unhappy by giving the movies "his touch". Is he really ready to take...

One final question- What about the Trees, did they ever recover? If not, how can the effects of Morgoth's darkness be said temporary?

Another question just popped in: In The Silmarillion, at one...

Does only the land matter? Trees were killed/destroyed. There was darkness all around, if I remember that correctly. It's like saying poisonous air is not in the land so those who live on the land do...

I have a question. Why does professor use the word "Arda unmarred" for the Undying Lands while it was marred by Morgoth and Ungoliant?

Isn't he saying that Frodo would have had to take the same way, instead Frodo would have taken the same way? And if he wouldn't have done(sacrificing himself), he would have failed completely.
