Fanwork Notes

In the Athrabeth, Finrod tells Andreth:
"He is a warrior, Andreth, and a spirit of wrath. In every stroke that he deals he sees the Enemy who long ago did thee this hurt."

I take this to mean Andreth had told Aegnor previously at least something of her belief that Morgoth stole their immortality. Otherwise it would make no sense for Finrod to say that Aegnor fights with such a thing in mind.

I love the ideas of the jack-o-lanterns mirroring the rage and brightness of Aegnor's face. Having the lanterns be the inspiration for their discussion of the history of men is inspired, and such a rich metaphor too -- the gourds, once filled with life, are yet severed from the vine and rot even though light fills them.

I wonder if Aegnor went to fight, looked up one day and realized it had been a good 30 years, but not really much in the span of his life. "Oops," he said, and then kept fighting.

Lovely fic.
