[The Saucepan Man]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> It makes the scene in Towers rather deceptive and cheap. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I'm not so sure. Recent popular opinion has had it that Arwen was not leaving for the Grey Havens, but was in fact off to take Anduril to Aragorn. The only difference here is that she is leaving with Elrond's blessing and I think that I prefer that to her going either against his will, or having deceived him into thinking that she was headed for the Grey Havens.<P>I think that, for the audience, it would be more a feeling of relief that she is not leaving Aragorn after all, rather than a sense of having been misled. After all, no one ever said that she was headed for the Grey Havens, did they?
