The "Fair" Sex in LotR - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

What a most excellent thread! Sorry for sounding 80"s there. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

There is so much to reply to, but so little time, so I shall be brief.

I do not believe JRR Tolkien portrayed any of the female characters in the least. I believe Peter Jackson wanting to "bring out" Arwen and Galadriel (why?) is fine, as long as he does in a way, that coinsides with the books.

Somewhere a long the lines someone quoted one of JRR Tolkiens lettles to his song, Michael. (I have read The Letters of JRR Tolkien, and they are a must read!). I disagree with Tolkien about having a close friendship with the oppsisite sex is impossible. I"m a guy, if you hadn"t already guessed [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img], and I"m very close to a person, who happens to be a girl. There is nothing above friendship in our relationship, and it will probably stay that way. (God works in mysterious ways, so I always keep every opition open).

Read the book, The Four Loves, by Jack, er, C.S. Lewis. I got used to calling him Jack, like JRR did. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
