Quote prompt:
“But Aredhel sprang before the dart, and it smote her in the shoulder; and Eöl was overborne by many and set in bonds, and led away, while others tended Aredhel. But Maeglin looking upon his father was silent.”
Summary prompt:
Aredhel escaped Eol’s captivity to return to her family, to provide her son with a better quality of life than they had in the dark forests of Nan Elmoth, but their escape would cost them her life and that of her husband.
Theme prompt:
A mother’s love involves sacrifice in many ways, sometimes that sacrifice can cost her everything. This is true with many of the mothers we meet in The Silmarillion, as well as other works by Tolkien. Consider the topics of the love of a parent and/or sacrifice of a parent (or parental figure -- you know we have to include the kidnap dads in here for those who were thinking about them) for your creation.
