Prophetic Elves?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>"He is not coming back" or "The quest will claim his life"<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Let’s remember this is the MOVIE version of the books. The above lines are Jackson’s way of making the non book readers believe that Aragorn and Frodo will die. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>"The young captain of Gondor has only stretch out his hand to claim the Ring"<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>A movie style way of linking the strands of the film together. Galadriel had to ‘talk’ Elrond into sending his troops from rivendell to helm’s deep, so she had a bit of a moan at him, and then he got his own back by nicking Haldir off of her!!<P>It’s not just the Elves that have prophesies in the books. Indeed, here are 2 examples of the Hobbits, albeit without realizing, prophesizing in a roundabout way: <P>Sam first in Rivendell:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>'Oh, that won't do!' said Bilbo. `Books ought to have good endings. How would this do: and they all settled down and lived together happily ever after?'<BR> `It will do well, if it ever comes to that,' said Frodo.<BR> 'Ah!' said Sam. <B>'And where will they live? That's what I often wonder.'</B> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>And Frodo early on with Gollum regarding the Ring:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>You will never get it back. But the desire of it may betray you to a bitter end. You will never get it back. In the last need, Sméagol, I should put on the Precious; and the Precious mastered you long ago. If I, wearing it, were to command you, you would obey, even if it were to leap from a precipice <B>or to cast yourself into the fire. </B> And such would be my command. So have a care, Sméagol!'<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
