Arwen And Aragorn, A Once In A Lifetime Love Or Just A Summer Time Adventure?

In the two movies a lot is explained about Arwen and Aragorn’s relationship even if most of you will disagree. The story goes a lot deeper than showed and it is all a matter of examining it deeply to understand it. In the uncut version of The Fellowship Of The Ring there are other parts that explain the bound between Arwen and Aragorn. One of those is when in the hall of memories she will help him to clear his mind about his future. Again in the uncut version we will see Elrond trying to have Aragorn understand how important it is for him to embrace and accept his destiny. Later when The Fellowship leaves Rivendell, Arwen is crying and the look Aragorn gives her suggests that he will be back. A new strength is found in him, a look nobody has seen yet. Finally his time comes, when the Ring tempts him, he will refuse, and doing that he will embrace his true self and understand that his destiny is to rise above all others. He will fight bravely and will promise not to let the White City and the White Tower Of Ecthelion fall. Right now you can almost say that the king has already returned.<BR> <BR> In The Two Towers her father will make Arwen leave Middle-Earth trying to make her think that there is no future for her with a man. Elrond will also make Aragorn tell Arwen to go, so that she thinks that he doesn’t love her anymore. But when he falls during battle she is the one who will help him. The meeting with Eowyn and their conversation will make him rediscover his true love for Arwen. The jewel he wears is an everlasting symbol of a love that will never die, a love that he remembers in his dreams. During the battle Aragorn will fall down a crevasse. Everyone will think he is dead. Legolas will keep the Evenstar, almost knowing that Aragorn will be back to claim it. Aragorn fell into a river and is unconscious. When we see her kissing him it is not because he’s dreaming, but because she is healing him. He will go back and arrive to Helm’s Deep, where he will get back his Evenstar and he will prove once more his bravery and true strength. Aragorn and Arwen have something that will last forever, their bound is very strong and is one of the things that will help Aragorn to find himself, and reclaim his throne. <P> Arwen is a very mildly described character in the book, but PJ gave her a very important role. She doesn’t talk much but she has a very important part. First she saves Frodo, then she helps Aragorn understand that just because he's Isiuldur's heir doesn't mean that he will fall the same way Isiuldur did. Her presence will help him to find the strength he needs. When we see Aragorn telling her to go and leave him in Middle-Earth, she will not understand and the scene is so dramatic that nobody will actually understand the true meaning of this action. Many will think that he is doing it because Elrond told him to. He is actually protecting Arwen and even if she doesn’t figure it out at first she will. When Elrond goes to tell her that the boat is leaving and she has to go, we see that she is still in love with Aragorn and she knows that they didn’t really leave each other. <P> What does everyone else here think about my topic? Tell me, I really want to know!!!!!!

A very interesting topic Since i happened to like all aspects that you have drawn into your topic, particulalrly:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> When we see Aragorn telling her to go and leave him in Middle-Earth, she will not understand and the scene is so dramatic that nobody will actually understand the true meaning of this action.

Many people didnt like Arwen in the films, but i liked her role in Two Towers, that was more 'her'. Very feminine and all. You raise interesting points about her character, such as the one i pointed earlier. And the reason that i liked her in TTT better, is because most of the events actually did happen (in the appendicies of the novel)

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Arwen is a very mildly described character in the book,<BR> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>What 'mildly' means is not clear, but have you read Appendix A, part v, "Here follows a part of the tale of Aragorn and Arwen"?<P>Bethberry

That's good stuff. I might add a few things to what you've said, but I think basically you've got it all covered. I actually won't add anything, because I have argued about Aragorn to death with my friends, so I am tired of talking about him again. But you've got it all, basically.

Sorry, I should have made clear that when I wrote books I only mean The Books, not the Appendix! SORRY!!!!! Didn't mean to cause a whatever I Caused!

[Faye Took]

Wow, I agree as well.
