Kalla has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

I didn't have a problem with Arwen's character in the book, but I just don't know why she was added to the movie so early save for publicity? I actually felt it was taking away from Frodo's character to have her "save" him--when she has no special powers given in the book at that point, instead of Frodo standing up to the nine with his strength of will. Instead of a strong hardy hobbit that remarkably stood up to such enemies, we have a drained, weak hobbit that was saved by the grace of a woman. I'm a woman and I guess I just thought that the female characters in the book were strong enough without enhancement, and it sorta ticked me off that that "enhancement" took away from Frodo's character...in my opinion. :P I dunno, that is just why I had a problem with that part...others might have other reasons.
