Awesome deaths!!!

[Evisse the Blue]

(I'm sure you noticed that I'm delighting in the deathes of good guys mostly, but I assure you that's just a coinsidence.)

Whereas I seem to 'delight' in the death of good girls. Delight is not the word though; more of a quiet 'wow' and a shudder. For instance, from the deaths in Silm (of which you agree quite many are gory), I have been very impressed by the death of Finduilas, (which doesn't even take so much space), but I imagined her very clearly surrounded by orcs, impaled to that tree...and keep in mind the fact that she expected and hoped for help until the very last minute...Still Turin never came.
Another impressive demise is Nienor's leap into Cabed-en-Aras. This is so like a Greek tragedy - her death is foreshadowed and anticipated pages before and yet -or maybe even more because of it- it strikes you.
