Morwen has always struck me as too cold & 'stand offish'. It does make me wonder how much her husband & so are trying to 'live up' to her standards. Maybe we should have looked more deeply into Morwen's influence.
Certainly, we never really get to know her. She's quite a 'shadowy' figure. I wonder how possible it would be for anyone, even her closest family, to get close to her. She's one of Tolkien's most difficult characters as far as I'm concerned. I'll have to think more on this though.
