[QUOTE="jester47, post: 1346807, member: 2238"] BC, thats a good point. The Hobbit (as it stands after the changes made to fit with LotR, but even before that) is about finding power. As is The Last Unicorn. I have posted here before that one of the essential elements of a hero is his ability to relinquish power when he no longer needs it, be this by the ways of destiny or his own free will. Oftentimes power is contained within some magic dodad, and thus we have the disolving sword of beowulf, Saurons ring, the ring of Gyges, Excalibur, etc. When the hero does not relinquish his power he becomes the villian. Thus we have Gollum, King Haggard, Sauron, Vader, Elric etc. In fact it is one of the key differences between Elric and Corum. Corum gives up his power, where Elric refuses to and is consumed by it. But yeah, Steve aint no fool, and he is a great writier when he is writing somthing he wants to write rather than when he feels he needs to come up with somthing. Aaron. [/QUOTE]
