Irony

[doug*platypus]

it was his hour, just not in the way he had hoped.

That is SO (note, this word is spelled with one 'o') cool. I never noticed that before. Typical foreshadowing by Tolkien, but this example is very witty!

Back on the irony thing, Fëanor the spirit of fire, gets killed by the fire demon Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs, after his temper leads him on the revenge trail to Middle-Earth. Talk about poetic justice!
