<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Maybe this is more of a reflection on Orlando than Legolas, but I haven't seen a whole lot of emotion out of this guy. He looked more confused when Gandalf died than anything. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I've gotta disagree, Doug, buddy Maybe he looks confused to you, but what he says is, "I have not the heart to tell you. For me the grief is still too near." He's so upset that he can't bring himself to translate the lament. Then at Helm's Deep, he seems to me to be genuinely afraid. When he says, "they're all going to die", he is protesting not only on behalf of the humans which are all about to be massacred, but on behalf of himself, Aragorn and Gimli. Now, he's a warrior and warriors are supposed to keep such feelings to themselves. That is how I can classify Legolas as emotional.
