Maeglin's Sonnets  by Nerdanel 4 Review(s)
AlassielReviewed Chapter: 4 on 7/4/2004
Yes, this is indeed a kind of death, even before his execution, for he has given way to hate and self-pity. And now he suffers the consequences of his treachery, tormented in many ways. These sonnets did capture Maeglin's character very well.

Well, he has certainly begun to show his true colors--from love to vengefulness. The evil in him is no longer just a seed.

I see that the title is somewhat ironic. He begins by declaring his love and ends by threatening her, blaming her for rejecting him. A good depiction of his point of view.

Aiya Nerdanel,

This was like reading a synopsis of Maeglin's life--until the last line, which gave me a chill. I am not a poet (though I appreciate poetry), so I won't comment on the form, but it flowed very well.
