*TTT - Overall Impressions

[TolkienGurl]

To The Necromancer:<P>I totally understand your confusion with the fact that Arwen didn't age in the flash-forward scene. I agree that she should have.<P>First, Elrond told Aragorn "I will not leave my daughter here to die," and then he tells Arwen that after Aragorn passes, she will go on living and not find rest (I can't remember what exactly was said). Here is a big contradiction! It sounds like he is telling Arwen that since she is immortal, she will never be happy staying with Aragorn because he will die but she won't. That is not true. She has the choice of becoming full human or full elf just as her father and her brothers do.<P>And why were the elves leaving for Valinor so early? It was just plopped right in the middle of TTT when it should have been saved for the end of RotK. Was it for drama reasons? I think so, but the reasoning for this "intrusion of the elves" is faulty.
