Old Bilbo's narration (spoilers)
[In reply to]
|
Can't Post

|
What we know of Thranduil's motives comes from Bilbo's narration. When Thorin yells, "Help us!" it seems to me he's asking for help for his wounded people. After all, he has just found out firsthand that an army isn't much good against a dragon, much less an entrenched one guarding his hoard. We see Thranduil turn away, but Bilbo's narration puts a little better light on it: "He would not risk the lives of his kin against the wrath of the dragon." No mention of not helping the wounded and destitute... So I think maybe we should consider another thing: Bilbo chooses to stand with the Elvenking during the Bot5A and seems strangely in awe of him (which I think is odd since he spent all that time helping the dwarves escape him initially). Does that bias his narration?
"I left the night, with its remote and singing stars, and came in, to the glow of the fire, and the chair where he had been sitting, and the unstrung harp." --The Last Enchantment
