What if Lúthien had been "ugly"? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Maybe it would be better to say that all Species have beauty relating to their goodness. All the Maia who fell at the beggining were, if not ugly, terrible to behold. All elves are supposed to be uncorruptable (at least in their current state) and they are beautiful. The men with pure spirits (the Faithful) were fair. The only exception is that both good and evil can, at times, apear "Young, fair and terrible" (Galdriel, Morgoth, the men of Westenesse after their fall). Also evil can seem fair if they are deceitful.
