I like the fact it is very moral.
It teaches you how to live, like any Myth does, and it teaches nothing more than what everyother myth has...it simply is as I put it once, Tolkein's new myth to add to the old ones.
He wasn't making a story, he was making a history...and that's what's good about it.
It's sad reading the books, because you pretty much know how it turns out...just as we know how our own history turned out...it's sad as if you are reading their lives...not some story.

y would u say it's a tragic thing that they love eachother?
Several reasons really.
First because theirs is a love that is for the first part, forbidden, Elrond doesn't even want to think about it...
As if that's not bad enough, Arwen has to die.
Not only does she HAVE to die, she doesn't even go west...for some strange reason, but Aragorn does...(I don't understand that part).
The whole series to me seems rather a tragedy.
A perfect world doomed to be ravaged by evil...and the only way for the evil to be gotten rid of, is to destroy that perfect world.
The perfect world is held in place by the Ring of Adamant, at least that's what I garnered from it, and all the rings lose their power once the One ring is destroyed.
And so the world of the Elves passes away.
The elves don't have to watch that...
But Arwen does, not even Aragorn has to watch that...as he dies before she does...but when Arwen dies, winter sets upon her deathplace, in Lothlorien.
The general nature of the book, implies that it is not a joyous occassion...
"Evil is defeated...but at what cost..."

Been looking through the earlier thread. Things that are being covered now have been covered before. I did bring up old threads that I think are still relevant, but I have not seen been discussed (in length) 😄
Newer fans won't think to look through old thread to see if it's been discussed before, even if sometimes we all get reprimanded.

Another reason is for orli!hahahaha 😍 sorri, so sorri. 🤨 and i say that ppl who dont like the movies just dont have the imagination to interpret it. i think its true? ^_^ what do you ppl think about my saying? tee hee 🤪
