Show me fear! (the emotion game) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The idea is simple: You have to find a situation where a character feels/displays a certain emotion / disposition. The emotion doesn't have to be explicitly mentioned (ex: Gandalf was angry at Pippin), it can also be implied by the context: (ex: by yelling 'Fool of a Took', that would mean he's angry). Alright - that clarification was perhaps obvious, most feelings and emotions are inferred from contexts, not spelled out.
Another obvious rule is that there are many possible replies to each request, so whoever gets to find a situation first and get it confirmed by the one who requested it, can post a new one.

Example: Find me a situation when someone feels overwhelming pain.
Answer: Hurin, being made to watch what happens to his family by Morgoth.
Another possible answer: Feanor, discovering his Silmarils were taken.
Or you can interpret pain as physical pain and answer: Morgoth, when he was burnt by the Silmarils.

NEW RULE: You also have to quote or at least state specifically that part of the narration that illustrates the answer, in order to prove your point.

Any questions?
Do I get greenlight for this game, Sauce?
