[Ruler of the Frogs]

I am so glad so many people relplied! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I couldn't agree more with the statement about females in LotR being on a higher pedestal. I've never really thought of it that way until now. You're completely right - while there were no central female characters, the ones that were presented were goddess like, beautiful inspirations for the men of the fellowship. That could not have been acheived if they had been rooting around in the mud and trampling across the country. I'm glad that I've gotten that new perspective! Thank you! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
