Did Maeglin had a chance? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Yes...and he did indeed die the same death as his father. Remember when they cast Eöl over the precipice of Caragdúr?(sp?) When Maeglin died Tuor flung him over it too. Ironic that Eöl's curse was right.

I guess Maeglin was pretty valiant and brave and wrought many good swords,etc, but he just should not have let his jealousy of Tuor and desire for Idril get the better of him. I don't think that Idril shunned him, exactly. She just didn't return his enamourous feelings and it made her uncomfortable that her cousin was in love with her.
