Arwen was the live image of Luthien, and Luthien was never a warrior, the two options are not a porcelain doll and a warrior, Arwen wasn't any of them.<P>Too many inventions in that part, it wasn't Arwen who met them but Glorfindel.<P>It wasn't Arwen who ordered the flood but Elrond.<P>Frodo didn't ride with Arwen (or Glorfindel) but alone, and he tried to face the nazgul.<P>Arwen would have never left Rivendel, Elrond would have never let her. The movie was good, but that part was a big mistake IMO.
