Part 5/7:
In the face of danger, Lúthien, another key figure in this story, is often misrepresented. She is not merely a songstress but a blend of Elven and Maia heritage, making her an extraordinarily powerful being in her own right. Lúthien's actions during the encounter with Sauron, where she cast a spell of sleep upon him, showcasing her formidable power, play a crucial role in the outcome of the confrontation.
This blend of arrogance and the the intricacies of prophecy allow for the defeat of Sauron, demonstrating the thematic underpinning of the narrative: that arrogance precedes ruin.
