Was it mean by Elrond? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm sorry if anyone has posted anything like this before, but I couldn't find anything, so...

Does anyone more than me think it was quite mean by Elrond to tell Aragorn to be king before he was allowed to marry Arwen? Ok, I understand, Arwen was precious to him and that, but Aragorn had lived at Rivendell for a long while, and was probably like a son to him, and could easily have been killed while trying to get king.

And Thingol made the same thing when he told Beren to get the silmarills from the crown of Morgoth, before he could marry Luthien. Was it mean by them to do that? It just doesn't seem so nice to me... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
