| Oh wow, what a powerful image – the glass sliding from Thranduil’s hands and shattering on the floor as he registers Galadriel’s rage and the implications of her message. I love seeing him as the determined leader. He has a wonderful ability to inspire hope and courage in his people. I really liked the thought that he undertook the instruction of the elves in archery – it shows how unafraid he is to be close to his people. You did an incredible job in showing the chaos of the fire and the resulting grief of the elves. It’s amazing the way Thranduil, despite the horror he must be feeling at what happened, takes immediate control and can still see clearly enough to decide what action they should take. Even though the events are unspeakably terrible, nevertheless I find it fascinating to look at him as a ‘hands-on’ leader. I’d love to see what he was like at Dagorlad……;) I love the final paragraph – victory mixed with grief, but also a sense of relief that it is finally over. Author Reply: I think we agree that only a King as powerful in both presence and leadership as Thranduil must have been could lead Mirkwood through the dark years the Woodelves faced. | |
