Eurytus,
Your earlier point:
Quote:

Lack of real loss. Tolkien vehemently hated being accused of this but I am afraid it does ring true. Frodo apart, no-one really suffers any in this story.
|
I rattled off 16 examples (off the top off my head - I could find many more)
And then your quote:
Quote:
|
Elrond losing Arwen, Arwen losing Elrond being seperated into two seperate examples.
|
Of COURSE they're seperate examples. You asked who suffered?
They both did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
