speaking of Arien and Tilion, he is actually in love with her but she won't realize it and Tilion won't know the answer whether she loves him back until the end of days. I always imagine that after The Last Battle, when Feanor finally breaks the silmarils and the two trees is rebuilt, Arien would say yes to Tilion and they would held a wedding witnessed by all elves come back to life under the new two trees. How romatic.😍😍😍🤩
Did y’all read Nature of Middle Earth? Later in life, Tolkien suggest these stories of the Sun and Moon were elf myths and the world was always round. I personally don’t think it was necessary to change but respect him for wanting to make his mythos more ‘scientific’. The section on Free Will is also worth a carful read. I read a paper recently on the inspiration Tolkien took from bothiean mythology for his world’s application of free will, more so than the Christian understanding. Eru is much more of a Deist god than a typical Jewdeo Christian storm gods like Yahweh and Baal. I absolutely love the Sun and Moon story. Its actually very similar to some Native North American myths being vessels with souls.
I love how Tolkien wrote a bunch of stuff that I have a hard time understanding fully and somewhere he suddenly said: oh it's just myths in elf culture, we don't know the exact truth.🤣🤣🤣
