After escaping her father’s captivity, Lúthien is quickly captured again, plagued by elves who claim to love her and wish to confine her. Celegorm and Curufin, in this episode and in their behavior towards Finrod, reveal their true natures. They don’t simply want to fulfill their oaths and take the Silmarils—they are greedy and want to possess power and beauty, both of which Lúthien has. However, she also has her wits and her kindness, which provoke Huan to aid her in escaping.
