Bethberry, 'Elen sila ...'
I take your point, up to a point. I was being too subjective in my statement. Actually, I don't know all the characters you cite, but most of the ones I do I find annoying or twee. They strike me as unconvincing, as do most of the stories . I'm not a great fan of the 18th- 19th century novel. Besides, those women strike me as too typical of their millieu (should that be 1 L or 2?). I don't find them interesting. I don't find any of those characters as convincing as Eowyn, or Galadriel, for example, so I stand by my point. In other words, you haven't convinced me for all the long list of names!

None of them strike me as being as vivid or real.
Any way, this is getting way off this particular thread!
