Interestingly, I have compared myself to Miriel at times and Turin annoys the crap out of me partly because I get what he's on about - being as I tend to be on about stuff like that at times, too. I often say I have to have a stern talking with myself about my traits and assess whether they're working for me or against me. Turin never has that talk with himself. I think I'm missing a good conversation in the Reading Room. Fate vs Free Will was something I could not stop talking about when I was discussing the Sil back in the early Aughts. [/magpie] magpie, if you like, here is the link to the reading room chapter on the fall of gondolin, where this quiz was used to explore free will and fate, as well as in the context of thte chapter. the fall of gondolin .and you (and everyone) are certainly +most+ welcome to join the rest of us in the fellowship of the room. the spirit of the room is friendly, supportive, exploratory, and mischievous. .
aka. fili orc-enshield +++++++++++++++++++ the scene, as i understand it, is exceptionally well-written. fili (in sort of a callback to the scene with the eagles), calls out "thorRIIIIIIN!!!" just as he sees the pale orc veer in for the kill. he picks up the severed arm of an orc which is lying on the ground, swings it up in desperation, effectively blocking the pale orc's blow. and thus, forever after, fili is known as "fili orc-enshield." this earns him deep respect from his hard-to-please uncle. as well as a hug. kili wipes his boots on the pale orc's glory box. -- maciliel telpemairo
