Who is your favorite Silmarillion character and why - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

ps. Oddly and to my own surprise, Melian has been my favorite-character-of-the-moment for over a month now.

EDIT: Whups, I forgot to say why. Because she sings! And I'm frantically trying to pull together a CD of Christmas Carols, and I am gaping wide-eyed into the barrel of a fully-loaded Christmas trying to get my software to put together two WAV files so that one is the left-channel and the other is the right-channel-- AUGH-- and the days tick by and the clock ticks by and I stay up til midnight. AUGH.

So I need to remember that the point is, The Song and how you sing it. Melian, Melian... Yes, good reminder.

Well it would probaly be more Phyiscal and mentally training, if Fingolfin thought of a plan, liek draw Morgoth out farther from the gates and such, he might have had greater impact, and no interupttions, maybe even direct his blows as well...my mind is rather blank so i got to re-read Silmarilion, but when i do i'll post here again

Gelmir guy. I simphatize with him, indeed. To be so badly used - have brother killed, be enslaved, escape, and than having your girlfreind fall for the guy you count to be your friend.

Tuor.

His story, while full of trials, tribulations, and hardships, nonetheless seems to end a more-or-less happy one. He and Idril seem to be granted eternal life together...

Besides which, as Gelmir and Arminas noted to Turin in Nargothrond, he was a genuinely nice guy, which you can see for yourself in his "Coming to Gondolin" and his portrayal in the original "Fall of Gondolin".
