luthien

I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes but I thought another deep topic might be of interest to our illustrious guild so I'm posting it without asking permission. Beren and Luthien... Aragorn and Arwen... There are great similarities as well as many blaring differences. Who do you find more...

Reason 1: It's a love story. Reason 2: It has animals, everyone loves animals. Reason 3: The one animal talks, and hes a hound. Everyone loves talking dogs. Reason 4: People die. Reason 5: The theme song of the movie can be sung by the characters (like Moulin Rouge) Reason 6...

The question tells it all. It actually came out from the discussion about Thingol's challenege to Beren, sending him on the quest for the Silmarilli. So.... wht do you think? Would he ever succeed in his quest without the help of Luthien?

Was Curufin and Celegorm's plan to force Thingol into letting Celegorm marry Luthien, so that they would be the mightiest of the princes and have all the elf kingdoms under their command so that they might take back the silmarils, a plan that they should have really thought might succeed given...

Who who win in a brutal full-forced catfight? I'm gonna say Luthien. *Oh no, i forgot to post the poll!

Since the Half-elves HAVE to choose of which kindred they will share their fates with, could Luthien have chosen to be a Maia? Or would that just be the same as being an elf, b/c both of them are immortal? And how could she choose to be a woman, when she had no mortal blood in her? How can...

I just finished reading this portion of the Sil. Now, I don't know if there are better stories in there still, but I can honestly say that this is one of the best stories I've ever read. Anywhere. Period. It has everything, Love, Romance, Action, Adventure, Courage, Heartbreak, it makes you...

I just thought of one way that PJ's Arwen stuff actualy does fit in with Tolkien's little themes. Though it may not be sufficient to justify what PJ did, it is a similarily I failed to notice before. In Tolkien's books we always have these powerful women like Luthien and Melian, who sit around...

Gamil Zirak made this comment arguing against Aragorn and Arwen being a romantic couple... Does anyone have any agreements or disagreemens with this terrible, evil statement against my favorite couple... ;)

Luthien, only an elf with some powers of enchantment in song, comes through the gates of Melkor and places him, a Valar (though corrupt), under a spell of sleep. My question is mainly, how could she do this with such a difference in power and will of strength between the two? The only...

the sons of Feanor knew she bore it but never made any move towards trying to obtain it or even ask for it. Any idea why?

Ok, I'm sort of new to the LOTR thing and I need some help. Who is Luthien and what does she look like? This guy in my class said that i looked better than her and the only information he would give me is that she is in the Sim.....oh however you spell it. Any help would be nice since I'm...
