* GreyAndGrayMorality: "Aldarion and Erendis" is one of the few cases in Tolkien where there truly isn't a "good" or "bad" side in the main conflict (with Sauron being firmly a distant GreaterScopeVillain). Aldarion's actions to save the elves were righteous, but he also neglects his family and his duties as prince, repeatedly breaks his promises to his wife, and keeps the truth of his actions secret more out of pride than anything. Erendis is a vindictive WomanScorned who can frequently be irrational, but she's also reacting to Aldarion's lack of care for her and the very real possibility that he's doing what he does for selfish reasons, and gives him multiple chances to prove her wrong that sees her suspicions vindicated every time.

* MoodWhiplash: Most of the Unfinished Tales are far from cheerful, featuring events such as Isildur's death, the endless tragedy of Húin's family, and the bitter relationship between a king and queen of Númenor. "The Quest of Erebor" deals with Gandalf's hilarious trials and tribulations in getting Bilbo added to Thorin's company.
