Very interesting discussion. What I like best about Tolkien is that the characters are so blatantly human, even the most ethereal elf. No one is perfect. There is plenty of mischief, cowardice and greed mixed in with all those great personalities and minds to make reading about Middle-earth's 'good' people really satisfying and entertaining. Because we can relate to them.
