*TTT - Elrond (Hugo Weaving)*

I can quite very well understand Elrond. I'm sure at the back of his mind he must have been telling himself, "I am only trying to be a good father." No good father would let his son or daughter leave a wonderful life just to suffer the harsh fates of life. But still, because he is a good father he would give everything (even perhaps the stars and the moon) just to see his daughter happy even it pains him. <P>In TTT, Elrond was trying his "last" best to get Arwen to stay with him and their kind but he also knows that Arwen is just as determined as he is to be with the one she loves. It was just a scene that showed how great a father's love can be. And that no father, much less Elrond, could be that cruel to deny his daughter her happiness.
