I'll post a proper response rather later, but for now, a minor point.
It's always seemed to me rather significant that Melian entranced Elwe at Nan Elmoth, where Eol would later entrap Aredhel. On one level, it seems that the role of "enchantress" turns to one of "enchanter", though there are of course more major differences between the liaisons, particularly Melian's semi-divinity.
But I wonder if anyone else finds this place and parallel interesting?
