And saying that Luthien achieves nothing but death for others is like saying the oppressed should not fight back. She could have just stayed in the tree, but that would have been quite uninteresting; and the death would have been instigated by Morgoth all the same. All this death that she 'achieved' was already written in the stars.

Anyone who has such power who allows them to be locked in a tree or anywhere else has no self respect.
