Freedom From Fear  by Fionnabhair Nic Aillil 1 Review(s)
French PonyReviewed Chapter: 18 on 5/24/2004
"Men have said many things Hala Grima, but the saying did not make them true."

Yes indeedy, truer words have rarely been spoken. That one's right up there with "It won't get better if you pick at it."

It's interesting -- Grima seems to be fairly active in his pursuit of Éowyn, far more active than I had previously imagined. He's an evil little bugger, and no mistake, but somehow I always saw him as skulking around and never saying anything directly. But this way is fun, too. He has a certain Dick Cheney-ness about him that's deliciously evil. At least, in stories. It isn't so much fun to have such a one leading us in real life.

I suppose with Grima it's a case of all power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. His position has become so strong that he feels confident in doing anything he wishes - and he knows that Éowyn won't talk about it. Actually now that I think of it maybe that explains Cheney too - it's good to hear that I've captured a real sense of evil!
