Make that no psychological depth - she doesn't speak..... she doesn't do anything until that gloop Beren turns up, she achieves nothing but death for anyone other than herself. She allows herself to be imprisoned in a tree. Idril whose tale is told in the same way is far more interesting .... As a feminist find nothing likeable or endearing about Luthien.... to put it mildly
