Your Daily Tolkien Ping!

Coming from many sources, these articles cover many aspects of Tolkien and his literary works. If anyone would like for me to ping them directly when I post articles such as this let me know. Enjoy!

[El Sordo]

The death of Theoden always tears me up.

An interesting read! But, I think the author misses a possibility in accounting for Eowyn's training: she may have insisted on it herself, and Theoden allowed it as an indulgence to his favored niece, whom he had raised as a daughter. In other words, Theoden may simply not have had the heart to say "no" to her.

I just read this article; thank you for posting it. Theoden is one of my favorite minor characters in the story, and I think his part in the movie is going to be really impressive.
