No I don't like it, if you were a Briton who lived in the Battle of Britain would you say it was fun? Please, don't let's celebrate terrible events. Even fictional.

Yes I know, that has two meanings. Like the effect of Sauron's will is immediate, or delayed. One can take their pick.

"mentioned by Tolkien in letter #246" Nevermind the letters, we're interested in the book. Letters for drafting are hardly good sources except ot look at background, which is not the topic.

Broader? I hate the square/rectangle styled 'mansions' of evil charachters. That's very stereotypical, a tower is better.
