My nickname is simply the Black Speech version of Feanor ( "fire spirit" ). I think if Feanor would have changed the side, he would have been an excellent servant of Melkor, as he was full of passion...

If this were a logic forum, I would ask you to be more precise. It is very easy to use vague terms like "there is a problem with" and "shaky" about the parts that don't suit you. I would also tell...

Personally I don't have the impression that Tolkien put any gay subtext into LotR, at least not consciently.

But I wholly disagree with Rhuds argument that Tolkien didn't do so because he was a...

Personnally I prefer beeing mortal. Well, I would not like to die right now, but I think there will be a time (perhaps when I'm 80?) when I will say "It was a good life, but now it's enough, I'm...

I didn't say that 1 = 10. What I was saying is that if 1 = 10, then you can conclude everything from this, even the greatest nonsense. That's why it is not really a good idea to assume 1 = 10.

I think a crucial characteristic of the One Ring is that it is unique. Thus it is impossible to have ten of them.

You ask what would be true if there were ten One Rings. Fact is: Everything would...

I agree with Eowyns opinion: It's all about free will. The Valar's goal is not to defeat the evil, but to help the inhabitants of Middle Earth to defeat it. They did not want to cut their free will,...

I think we should distinguish between the "evil" in the real world and the "evil" in Middle Earth. It is quite different.

In the real world, beeing good or evil it is a question of ethics. Beeing...

I don't think there is any symbolic sense in the One Ring which has been intended by Tolkien.

But perhaps he unconsciously choosed a ring because it is very near to the archetypos of the Ring...

Sting Size of the Silmaril

Does anyone know what was the size of the Silmaril? Could they have had just the size of a pea or smaller?

Question Female Nazgûl???

Just a simple (maybe stupid) question for those who know Middle-Earth better than me, and who have read Tolkien's books in english:

Is it sure that all Nazgûl were male?
