As THE main character of the Silmarillion I would only choose Melkor/Morgoth. He is the connection between all the stories. His presence and his actions are the red thread through the story, although... |

The origin of Gil-galad may be a huge problem, because Tolkien made it in a very confusing way and Christopher took up an unsatisfying solution in the Silmarillion. But I don't think, that this is... |

Ents are not loving Dwarves, this made Tolkien clear as he wrote Lord of the Rings. But the intention, why Ents and Dwarves have some quarrels, cannot be located in the Silmarillion, because Tolkien... |

I think, that Sauron would have never thought, that someone could take his Ring from him. That's a good example, how someone could be blended by his own power. |

I don't think so. The One Ring was part of Sauron, because he forged it and while forging he put lots of his own (power) in it. That is, why the One Ring is such evil. The lesser Rings were not... |

Oh yes, this is possible. Also an Elf can starve to death. Voronwë mentioned this while talking to Tuor. But he said also, that they need a long time without food, before they would die. ... |
