favorite Race

[Calenfalathiel]

Simple question, what's your favorite Middle-earth race/people, and why?

Um, would it be awfully cliché if I say elven? More specifically the Noldor. They were such a great people that bought so much to the world, despite the fact that they were banished from Valinor for so long and hated by most other races until the end of the First Age. My favourite character out of all of them would be Finrod Felagund. He was loyal to his friends and family, even leaving his beloved behind while he went into exile, he was the first of his race to befriend the humans, and he gave up his life to save Beren, all because of an oath of friendship.

Yay!

I would have to say that my favorite race is Men. I think the elves and everything else are wonderful also, but I think the Men are the most important, they are the most real. Many storylines revolve around them or they contribute to them one way or another. It is because of the actions of Men that many things happened in Middle-earth. The Ring, for example...the story of Lord of the Rings wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Men. So, even though every race is great in its own way, I'd say I like the human race the most.

I love all of them but I think I like hobbits the most....they are just so cheery and relaxed, and great to have fun with. They are very comical characters and very enjoyable in my opinion. That's why I like 'em the most.

I agree with Luthien, men

I like Elves mostly because they just always seem to be above everything, and are so knowledgeable - but I don't really like the whole immortality thing, seriously. Living forever . . . immortality is a controversial issue, and I agree with the side that believes that living forever isn't always that great . . .

Like Calen said, I like hobbits because of how cheery they always seem to be - and that's one of their best features.

Altogether, I'm still not sure what race I like best. Hmmm . . .

I like the Elves the best, mostly the Noldor. They were such a high race, and I find their history very interesting with the Banishment from Valinor and what they did in Middle-earth and things.
