| the terror of mere joy…just beautiful, Larner. And very fitting as a mortal’s reaction to the Blessed Realm. A lot to mull over in this chapter… One thing that puzzles me: how is the Way to the Halls of Mandos open to the Eldar? I know that they go there if they are slain, but otherwise isn’t that frowned upon? (I’m thinking of Feanor’s mother.) Author Reply: Slain or if they die of the fading. But I doubt that they face the same restrictions as mortals do. I always have felt they were more on the honor system, if you understand what I mean. I did feel one who had been fighting just to try to live a normal life as Frodo had been doing would have found joy of the intensity known in Aman overwhelming, to say the least. I obviously need to reread the Silmarillion again, as I frankly don't remember the situation surrounding Feanor's mother. Thanks for giving me the hint it is time to read it again. | |
