Arwen is Going Where?! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

dunadan_aragorn · 01-17-2003, 04:24 PM

In that little Arwen sequence in ttt, she walks away with her little cape thing and looks back. At first I thought she was going to fight someplace and help somebody. then I thought she was going to the Grey Havens. Is she gonna go and be like, "What the heck am I doing here? I love that guy!" (I know who aragorn is, mind you.) and run back? I think thats it. Anyone else want to take a crack at it?

I don't think she'll go on the boat. (I've read the book, so I know she's not supposed to, but you never know what PJ will do.I have a sneaky suspicion she's either going to do as you say, or she's actually on her way to Aragorn now, but we won't find out about it until later to build suspense.

Yes I think she was going to the havens in aqualonde or whatever. If the current plot adherence trend continues, she will probably sail away and bring back Fingolfin who will remember some ancient allince with rohan and bring a host of elves, all of whom will be slaughtered at Minas Tirith....It wouldnt surprise me at all!

It seems to be the general consensus that she will turn up in Rohan with Anduril and Aragorn's banner instead of the Dunedain ...... probably with an Elven army ...... and by the looks of those she set off from Rivendell with, an Elven Amazonian army.

Ah me, Elven Amazonian armies ... tsk-tsk ... Yes, she is going to bring Aragorn the sword and banner. The Dunedain are not going to be in ROTK. Her getting the sword is the first scene in ROTK --so I've heard-- I think they were going to Gondor, the Elves I mean, and Arwen allready had the sword in possession and they (the scriptwriters) were jumping ahead and in ROTK, they're going to go back and explain that part, showing ARwen getting the sword after the reforging (sp?) of it. That's my educated guess on certain rumors.

And all of this is A LOT more difficult to explain/show than the way it was in the book. Ironic, isn't it?

Arwen Evenstar the Fair · 01-19-2003, 02:33 PM

I don't believe she is going to the Grey Havens yet, I think she is going to Lothlorien, which would make perfect sense, because at the end of ROTK she goes to Gondor with Gladriel and Celeborn and Elrond and some other Elves before they go West. It would also explain the pictures that have been seen of Arwen and Gladriel together.

My friends and I were saying that she goes to the shore and sets sail with them. She then realizes what she's doing, jumps off the boat and swims to shore.

the mortal elf · 01-19-2003, 04:50 PM

I'm convinced that she went to Lothlorien, mainly because of four bits of information.1. I think it was Manwe Sulimo who said that there were pictures of Galadriel brushing Arwen's hair.2. The extended edition scenes where she's going to take Narsil.3. Elrond's and Arwen's expressions when she leaves. She looks determined and fixed on her course. She doesn't look like she's about to break down in tears because she's leaving the love of her life behind. Elrond looks like his heart is about to break. He would be a bit happier if he knew that his one and only daughter were going to the Havens and then to Valinor, where she'd be safe.4. Haldir. At Helm's Deep, he says, "I bring word from Elrond of Rivendell...." Since he was from Lothlorien, it would be highly unlikely for him to know what Elrond wanted unless Arwen told him or got the information to him.
