Well, if your point is simply that some bad things happened to Galadriel, I can't really argue with it– it's just that it came across a bit as if you were refusing to admit you'd been mistaken about Celebrian's death, which is what was puzzling me.
Anyway, since you ask, the rape = death business appears to be more "fanon" than canon anyway– see my points above– and besides, it's certainly never stated that's what happened to Celebrian (nasty fan-fic notwithstanding). So I'd say her suffering wasn't caused by Elves having any
special weakness but simply because, you know, torture
hurts.

Don't worry, threads here are immortal, just like Elves.
