eldochflamma:baradduh:melkorslegacy:baradduh:why haven’t i seen this before and why does tolkien want us to suffer. The passage that made me cry so hard in HoME IV (it’s in the commentary of the Quenta): “In Q1 the burning of the unrighteous hand, and the realisation that the right of the sons of Fëanor to the Silmarils is now void, becomes that of Maidros; and, a prisoner of Fionwë, he slays himself, casting the Silmaril to the ground.”Apparently, torturing Maedhros and making him the prisoner of different Ainur was Tolkien’s favorite entertainment.From One Ainur to Another, a book about how to capture Maedhros Feanorian.Honestly, he would have killed himself just to not be a captive once again. -- source link
