There is many surprising 'revelations' in Tolkien's works that never cease to surprise me.
Firstly, I've just realised that
Quote:

"Ut?ie'n aur? Aiya Eldali?ar Atanat?i, ut?ie'n aur?The day has come! Behold, people of the Eldar and Fathers of Men, the day has come!"
|
By Fingon at the battle is parallel to
Quote:
|
Aure Entuluva! Day shall come again!
|
uttered by by Hurin the Steadfast, which happens to be also parallel to the sentence of Turin Master of Doom in his utter despair,
Secondly, it is funny that Tolkien gives us a hint that Numenor
is what we now refer to as 'Atlantis' by saying that it was called Atlante by later Men.
Thirdly, I was reading the LOTR index and wondering who Thorongil was, when it came to me like a flash that it MUST be Aragorn son of Arathorn.
Anyone have any other thing like these?
