Who is your favorite Silmarillion character and why - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Fingolfin II · 11-12-2004, 09:14 PM

I like Turin and Feanor, because they're both hot-headed, yet tragic and are perhaps (like Gollum) the most complex characters in Middle-Earth. Also, Fingolfin, Tuor, Hurin and Fingon strike a chord in me because they're so steadfast and brave- willing to stand by their friends even if it means death.

Dûrbelethwen, are you referring to Tuor? He was the one who was allowed to go to Valinor and Turin was the crazy one

Wasn't that Tuor?

Sorry I get the two names mixed up and I do not have a copy of the Similarion on hand.

Morgoth, the Dark Enemy of the World. Sauron is only a baby pup compared to him. Whats not to like about that?

How right you are, Ancalagon. Sauron wishes he could be as hardcore as Morgoth.

Luthien Tinuviel. I wish I could have as brave as that woman. It's a real fairy tale - love conquers all.

Turin Turambar

A tragic and dark character this son of Hurin. Always enjoyed reading his story in te Sil, and better yet, in Unfinished Tales!

And he caught the fancy of the ladies! The elf maiden in Doriath, Findulas, and his very own sister Nienor!

She portrayed my idea of an ideal Sacred Feminine... and so very unlike Mary Magdalene, who's hailed by some freaks as the real sacred feminine.

Gosh I got carried away. At this moment I'm not holding the Sil but the Da Vinci Code!

Gwindor. I meant Gwindor. Gelmir was the brother that was killed.

He is wise. He is very kind to Men, risking his life to fulfill his oath of friendship to one dirty mortal. Thus he is the only one not to fall under the Doom of Mandos.

Oh, and I forgot one more reason: He's my father!

Really? I don't see any resemblance, physical or temperamental.

I know. Every now and then I find myself crying, "Where, O where are the Edain of old?" Most of these new Men seem too self-absorbed.
