Interesting that is true Goldberry is only slightly more explained i think it has also to do with the role of women in the story(please dont hurt me) overall they are subordinate therefore almost out of wight out of mind the thing that facinates me about bombadil is the mere fact that he is unaffected by the ring. now had goldberry put on the ring and not disappeared surely we would have a dynamic duo of enigmas on our hands
