Exactly the one I had in mind :).

i got a simpler(sp?) one! Celeborn and his people was happy with Galadriel for very lon time, but when she left over the pond, everyone lost their joy and wandered off...







(edit) darn...well i guess i could try even though i didn't see fingolfin (edit)

Triumph and hate followed by fear.

Morgoth triumphing over the Valar by stealing the Silmarils and poisoning the Two Trees, while hating them and the Elves (especially Feanor), then becoming scared of Ungoliant's power?

Sure. I thought of Azog after killing Nain, and then seeing that he's losing the battle.

clear - *bump* it's alive! and all yours Fingolfin. :)

Whoops, ok- how about love followed by lust, followed by hate?

I'm thinking Frodo in Cirith Ungol when Sam comes to save him: he feels love for Sam for rescuing him, then lust for the Ring, as Sam tells him he still has it, and then hate for Sam as he refuses to let go of the Ring. But it's still speculative, so if anyone has one that is less speculative, let him/her speak now. :D

Good enough for me!

Show me desire followed by terror followed by remorse.

Ok this is a little vague but I thought:
When Sam has been attacked by Gollum after getting out of Shelob's cave, he chases after him filled with desire to kill him, he then remembers Frodo and turns back filled with terror and then feels remorse when he thinks Frodo is dead and that it is his fault for not warning him.

At Amon Hen, Boromir had a desire to take the Ring from Frodo, which drove Frodo away in terror of the Gondorian. Boromir's mind then cleared and he felt remorse for trying to take the ring.

ok, I have a dilemma: who to give it to? Both answers are reasonable, to me. I think I'll give it to Kath, because she was first. So take it away, Kath!

Ok then, how about despair followed by anger followed by grief.

Fingolfin despaired during the Dagor Bragollach, learning of the fall of his friends, then he was driven to anger and rode to meet morgoth in single combat, and there was much grief for him after he died?

Huh, hadn't thought of that one, well done and go ahead!

Courageous and devoted (I hope those pass for emotions) followed by sorrow.

Faramir when trying to win back Osgiliath. he was devoted to Gondor and his father, and was very courageous. Sorrow followed after all his men had died and he was wounded.

I was thinking Beleg with courage and devotion chasing down the orcs holding Turin, and how the sword Anglachel slew Beleg at the hand of Turin.

But your fits perfectly! You're up!

I'm new to this forum, but I believe that by the rules this is a "stagnant" thread, so, if okay:

A case of sorrow and hatred (for the loss of a relative) followed by reconciliation with the one chiefly responsible for the loss.

Welcome, Tuor, to the Downs and to this game! :)

I'll say Thingol was sorrowed and hateful towards Beren who separated him from Luthien, but he later 'made peace' with him.

Interesting about Thingol. The one I'm thinking about is in the First Age, and there's more of a somewhat justified hatred initially involved.

oh! sorry everybody I forgot this thread completely! :(
