[QUOTE=Estelyn Telcontar]Mithalwen, you’re right, of course, about the missing - err - sensual element in Middle-earth’s women. True, we see lust only as a caricature and almost entirely evil in Shelob. As for the thoughts concerning the ring and female partnership, do check out the “One Ring?” thread to which I linked. It picks up that topic wonderfully humorously yet with amazing insights, especially the posts by Sharkû and Mister Underhill.

Shades of the Entish Bow, Kuruharan, and the symbolic meaning of weaponry!
