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

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.

I too would choose Finrod Felagund. Noble, wise, faithful, brave...his beloved, Amarië had stayed behind in Aman, so he never married.
I also have an admiration for Fëanor, so talented and so driven.

Finrod ... butI am also fond of Beleg ...... though I resent these elves dying at the expense of useless men especially that drippy Beren....

I liked Idril too - she was a clever girl whose forthought saved many of her people - and to my mind made the best of the Elf/man matches. And she was Elrond's grannie

E-HEM!!!

*Fordim, please allow me to use this. It's for a noble cause. Thanks.*

*Lhunardawen slaps Nilpaurion Felagund across the face with her gauntlet, then tosses it at Nilp's amazed feet*

Sir, I must ask you to accept this gauntlet in earnest of a more serious confrontation that I suggest we undertake early tomorrow upon the heath, where I shall answer your slanders in the most vigorous and peremptory manner.

Do you prefer pistols or swords? I shall await you in the appointed place at the appointed hour where, if you shall fail to appear so that I might pay you as you deserve for your words, I shall consider you the most arrant and cowardly knave.

Lhun...calm down.... have a Big Slam!
