You make a fair point, Galadriel. It is true that everyone has a choice. A choice to choose between good and evil. Or a choice to sit back and do nothing. Aragorn was meant to rule the kingdom; yes....

This thread made me think. According to me, Tolkien's characters did just what they thought they should do. Whether this 'should do' is born out of a sense of rightness or something else entirely, I...

To answers your questions; both yes and no. Tolkien's works have meant a greater part of the world for me since I was fortunate enough to be acquainted with it. For me it is certainly more than any...

Great question, Little Green. I could honestly owe up that this particular question had plagued my mind too. The replies posted are the same that I would have cited. am of the belief that it was a...

Now that you mention it... There is, indeed, an innocence in Legolas, as seen in hobbits. Not to forget, his unusally simple way of perceiving things.

You make some very good and well thought out comments, Anguirel. As I mentioned before, the movies, though great they may be, didn't tug my heartstrings merely due to the alternation of the...

I agree. Legolas is one of my favorite characters. But the book version of him, not the movie one. I was a little too disappointed about the movie version:-). Legolas' character was so insightful and...

As it is said, we find heart in other people's misery; your post does wonders to boost my confidence, Galadriel55. :-). Just kidding:-). Thanks for the boost-up.

I agree with both points. Thank you for quoting that paragraph from The Last Debate. I had forgotten about it :-).

It does make sense that the 'Eldar' of the fellowship would be the last to...

That's what was my conclusion. However, despite the general camaraderie between Legolas and Aragorn, nowhere in the books is a deeper friendship shown. It just doesn't feel appropriate that Legolas...

Leaf Why did Legolas set sail for the Grey Havens only after Aragorn's death?

Please do forgive me if the question sounds infantile or has already been discussed.

According to the Appendix B of Lotr, Legolas set sail, along with Gimli, in the year 1541 after King Elessar's...

I am sorry, but I don't really agree with you, Diane C. It does take some time to get into, but once you get the essence, it is unputdownable.

Professor J.R.R.Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is an epic. And it is never easy to film an epic. Peter Jackson did a great job in re-creating the Middle Earth, especially Hobbiton and Minas Tirith. He...

5. Legolas' character- His character, while well-developed in the books, was massacred in the movies. He is the prince of an Elven realm, not just a good-looking tag-along.
