Tuor: One lucky shmoe...

[Elentári]

Well, Eomer, a story of sorrow does tend to be rather better. (True at least in the British psyci; I can't speak for those of us of the more American persuasion of course .)

Really? What are Americans like then?

I agree that Tuor's story had as much if not more importance as Túrin's story, but finding Túrin's story more gripping is not to say that we disregard Tuor completely. I agree, I think that Túrin had much more emotions, which frankly I relate to much more than some of the other characters who were always good...I get this whole 'going cold' thing too. It's weird, and very annoying to those around me and not least to myself. But anyway...I guess it's like comparing Harry to...I don't know, someone who seems unaffected by major emotions and the like, and never seems to get angry. When Harry loses his temper big-time I can entirely relate to him. I find his character more interesting, like I find Túrin's character more interesting. The more heart-wrenching story line only adds to the interest. Still, I do like Tuor's story. It's just that when I think of the events of the First Age it's Túrin's story I think of first.
OK, did any of that make sense? Probably not, but oh well...

Oh yeah, and...what is a shmoe???
