great thread!

yeah i agree with gorwingel and birdie, we can't draw conclusions with one test case. more than that, had galadriel been much younger, or had she been offered such a weapon of power at the time when she was enamored of power enough to risk banishment along with feanor and the noldor, it could be quite a different story. as it was, i guess after two ages of loss, grief and "the long defeat", it was a very mature (or more appropriately, ancient) and wiser galadriel who had to take that test. well, we women learn our lessons, that i grant you (",)
