Silmarillion: Main characters (Book report)

[Eldar14]

You could almost suggest that the Oath of Feanor as a character. This way, you could encompass more than one entity.

the Silmarils, even though they are an object not a character, are in many ways more important than the primary characters in many novels.

Now wouldn't that be an interesting paper. Pick as your two main characters things which aren't really characters: The Oath and The Silmarils.
