Silmarillion Stories - E09 - The Silmarils and the Unrest of the Noldor & The Darkening of Valinor
The Lorehounds
Webs of Darkness and Light
This chapter delves into the duality of darkness and light in Tolkien's narratives, particularly through the lens of the Noldor's intricate relationships and the looming threat of giant spiders. It highlights the emotional and mythological depth surrounding familial ties and the weight of oaths, while also addressing the foreboding presence of Ungoliant and her impact on Valinor. Drawing parallels between the Silmarillion and modern portrayals, the discussion reflects on the nature of creativity and the cyclical battles between light and shadow in fantasy storytelling.
