Elf-mortal love-Think about how sad that would really be - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Is it really that sad? It all comes down to the fact that they loved each other, and were prepared to give up their immortality for that person.

And I wouldn't say Arwen so much regretted her decision. Aragorn told her she could go into the West if she wanted, but she didn't. She couldn't, I don't think, but I don't think she would have done anyway. Her heart was pretty much broken.

Anyway, if the whole affair was so tragic, than why were there 3 elf-mortal pairings? Ok, fair enough, Tuor got immortality (I think) but even so.....

*realises she's not making that much sense*

In my defence, it's 2:45am.
