favorite tales in the silmarillion

J.R.R. Tolkien Forum

What tales did you like in the Silmarillion. I enjoyed the one about Eol the dark elf.

i liked how Fingoflin met his end...not the fact that he died..which stunk...but how he died..that was cool.
i didn't really like Eol. i also liked the fall of Gondolin...don't really no why..

I also loved the tale of Berin and Luthien. Berin was just so fearless. I loved the story.

i also liked where Huan the Hound of Valinor beat the stuffing out of Sauron...

I liked the Valaquenta!!!

I am also reading the Lost Tales and Unfinished Tales............... don't ask me how I manage to keep anything from reading 3 books at once................. but I can't seem to put them down!!! Some of the stories in those are sad and VERY educational

i haven't read the lost tales, they are the only ones i've not read. I have read most of the Unfinished tales.

I liked the whole story of Galadriel and Celeborn..........

if thats in the lost tales...then i'll read those next..

To be completely honest I liked Finrod Felagunds tales, but that may just be because he is my favourite character from the book.

I also liked the tale of Turin the Illfated and of course Nirnaeth Arnodiad, the battle of Unnumbered tears.

I also enjoyed the tale of Turin.

Beren and Luthien was my favorite story. I guess I am just a romantic. And it gives history and heritage to some of the LOTR characters.

Arwen and Aragorn's relationship parallels Beren and Luthien's in many ways. And I think it's interesting to point out that Arwen and Aragorn are both descendants of Beren and Luthien.
