Did Arwen do the right thing? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't think there is a right or a wrong answer to this question--how you answer really just tells us something about the individual who answered it. It's like that old bit where you're in a burning building with the last copy of all of Shakespeare's plays and a random person whom you do not know. You can only save one of them. Which do you save? I don't know that there is a universally right answer, but how you answer reveals your character.

Same is true of the Arwen question. It all depends on what you value more--life or love.

Oh and BTW . . . the person, and yes, Arwen made the right choice. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
