Approximately a year ago, Phillip T. Morgan and Matthew Steven Bracey conversed about The Silmarillion. In that conversation, Morgan and Bracey discussed the work broadly—its mythos, its significance, etc. This post continues that conversation, getting into specific passages and characters and themes: Fëanor and his pride, Ungoliant and her unsatiable lust, Finrod Felagund and his high honor, Thingol and his isolationism, and Eru Illúvatar and his working all things to his glory. So, if you enjoy Tolkien or The Silmarillion, we commend this conversation to you.
