dunno why... Favourite Dwarves? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Boromir88 · 08-09-2004, 02:21 PM

My favorite person is no doubt Boromir, but Dwarves are my favorite race in general. Elves just seem snobbish to me, men, men are prone to seduction and desire power, dwarves they are my type of race they give you respect if you treat them with respect back.

A thing the movie didn't show was the relationship between elves and dwarves. Dwarves and noldor elves, being from Aule, have a connection, and were always friendly with eachother, thats why Galadriel and Gimli were always kind with eachother. Same with Rivendell elves, Elrond and Gloin grew a great respect for eachother, and Gloin was well known. Elrond from the movie sounded like he hated dwarves, well heck he hated everyone "dwarve's this, men are weak I hate them, heck I even hate my own elves."

To answer the question of my favorite dwarf, I said it above, Gloin. Gloin had grown respect with his trip with Bilbo, he sat at Elrond's supper, and also talked the whole time with Frodo. Dwarves weren't always that friendly with hobbits but Gloin respected Bilbo and therefor respected his heir Frodo.

Thorin Oakenshield, I would say, and then Gimli. Dain comes third for his title of Ironfoot.

LOL, Morgul Queen! Don't be ashamed! I think it's spiffy you adore someone who never made a movie appearance. I must say, I think Fingon rather dashing, possible Maedhros ere losing his hand...

Fili and Kili. They gave up their lives for the love of Thorin. And they were young too. I would there was more about them in the book

I echo that statement, Inkling!

Though, every other dwarf that I've come accross has been equally deserving of elves' friendship. (in LotR and The Hobbit, anyway... Didn't think much of Mim in the Silm... grumble grumble I'm glad grumble grumble Hurin grumble grumble killed the grumble grumble stupid old dwarf! grumble.)

Thorin the Oakshield-he lived with honor,fought with honor and died with honor (so poetic,don't you think).And plus,he was the leader of the dwarwes in difficult times (he says that at the beginning of The Hobbit).

I would have to say Dori, because it seemed to me that he was the friendlist to Bilbo during their adventures. He seemed to look out for him and helped him in unhobbit friendly conditions.
