Andreth and Aegnor | Tolkien Love Stories - Part 2

Imagine you’ve just been dumped and you’re trying to drown your sorrows in the Middle-earth equivalent of a pint of Ben and Jerry’s, when your EX’S OLDER BROTHER drops by to engage you in a debate about original sin, mortality, and the end of Time, before telling you “it’s better this way, trust me” and disappearing into the night. Welcome to Andreth Saelind’s personal hell.

In this special Extended Edition of my video on Andreth and Aegnor we discuss Tolkien’s essay/dialogue “Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth,” discuss why human/Elven marriages are so rare and so important, explore what happens to Men in the afterlife and whether Elves are really immortal, and get a glimpse of how Men might play a role in undoing the Discord of Melkor and creating Arda Remade.
