In this episode of A Couple of Silmarils, we explore the epic love story of Beren and Lúthien, as they face Thingol’s impossible challenge to retrieve a Silmaril from Morgoth’s crown. Their journey takes them through imprisonment by Sauron, the death of Finrod, an encounter with Morgoth, and a battle with Carcharoth, ultimately leading to Beren and Lúthien’s reunion beyond the Halls of Mandos. We also discuss whether Lúthien made the right choice in giving up immortality for Beren and explore the connection between the Ring of Felagund and Aragorn.
