Nienna: A Journey from Grief to Compassion
This chapter explores the character of Nienna in Tolkien's mythology, tracing her transformation from a punitive figure to one of deep compassion and understanding of grief. It highlights the influence of Tolkien's own experiences with loss, particularly in the aftermath of World War I, on Nienna's character development and her connection to Gandalf. The discussion underscores the healing power of enchantment in Tolkien’s work and the broader implications of these themes in 'The Lord of the Rings'.
