I've never really thought much of Celeborn, though I've always thought of him as being 'interesting'. This puts it all into perspective. Galadriel is the shining flame, lustful for power and sometimes rash. Yet he will be the water, patient and laid back in way; more observant and in a way, wiser.

Thanks for this thought provoking work!

Holy Cow! Finally!
We're eternally indebted to you, mellon. And do keep your threats and write all those delicious fics, will you?
Fascinating. My soul is rejoiced.
I mean it.

Brillant! I never thought much about Celeborn before reading this, but he's really an underrated character. Wonderful, I loved this!

This is just fascinating. I have never disliked Celeborn, and frankly, Marton Csokas only served to enhance my opinion of him (eye of the beholder and all that). But you have given me a view of him I haven't had before. His practicality, his attachment to Middle Earth, even his apparent harshness make him terribly interesting and appealling, as well as help explain why he would stay even after Galadriel left. And I love the parallels you've drawn between him and Thranduil, which is something I've never considered. You've certainly given me something to think about. Thank you for letting us see him through your eyes. -Ell

Yes. finally someone who sees the elves as more than sickly sweet molasses.

My favourite Tolkien line is when he says of the elves of Mirkwood, that they are 'good people'. Why say that unless they sometimes do strange things which we cannot understand. Or sometimes fall out of the role.

Wonderful. wonderful analysis of Celeborn.

I always thought of Celeborn as a temper & brake for Galadriel; he seems to be the only thinganchoring her in reality. This is as fine an essay as I have ever seen. Superior in every way, outstanding in argument and convicyion. Excellent! Smile smiley face
