Such a deeply conflicted self, by then.

Curufin, of all people, is the one most likely to be challenged by his image in the mirror and Nargothrond the most critical phase for him.

You really bring that out here! And it is quite wrenching.

Curufin is so complex. I love that about him! Which is what draws me to him as a character.

Curufin really didn't have his own identity. His life, successes and failures were modelled after and measured against Feanor's accomplishments. 

He really put such a lot of pressure on himself which is quite heartbreaking. 

And you conveyed this in a way that had me riveted. 

Thank you for sharing.

He used to delight in his reflection, in the so many hints that pointed at his inheritance; all these details that reminded him – and everybody around - his father and grandfathers. He used to be able to see them everywhere in his face, and he loved it – his own reflection could have been that of Fëanáro, and Curufinwë used to define himself through these similarities.

This has always been the crux of the tragedy of Curufin for me, the idea that his self-identity was so tied into being like his father but a lesser version. How sad!

Well done.
