Quote:
Well, Elrond isn't all High Elf is he? so is his nostalgia tempered by his understanding of the Gift of Death? Or is he 'saved' from Galadriel's error by his understanding?

Granted, Galadriel is the only representation of High Elf in LOTR, with the exeption of a quick but intriguing glimpse at Glorfindel. But, I would agree with you Beth about Elrond. Being the progeny of Earendil does place him in a unique position, as far as his insight into mortals go. Yet, he too wields a ring. To what end?
