[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I don't see why Elrond would blame Sauron for his wifes misfortune. . .what I mean is that I have a hard time picturing Elrond sitting at home saying "curse you Sauron, how could you do this to us"

I simply do not think that there is this personal level in the hatred between the two sides, surely you fear somebody more than others, but I do not think that Elrond hates Sauron more than he hates the Witchking. . .Sauron is the most powerful so he becomes the main foe; even if Sauron had been an orc cheiftain directly responsible for the torure of Elronds wife, I doubt he would hold a special hate.

It is not as if some random person does something bad to you. . .Elrond and all elves already hated the orcs and had been fighting them and the rest of Morgoth's creatures for thousands of years.

If there ever was a personal hatred it was towards Morgoth.
