Greetings Estelyn Telcontar,

*curtsies a cordial hello*

Thanks for providing those links. I took a quick peek but will need time to go back and read them as they deserve to be read. I'm not terribly familiar with TheSilm, though, and my young Brandybucks are home for the summer wanting equal time on the computer, LOL.

Child, I'll watch for the start to that thread. [/b].

Mark12_30, I find myself, when I can get the time, thumbing through LOTR looking at the passages with the female characters, thinking about tone. The thing which originally got me going about women in LOTR was Carpenter's biography of Tolkien. I was not impressed by the picture of the marriage which Carpenter created and that frustrated me. It didn't jive with the headstone on the Tolkien's graves. Or vice versa, I guess!
