Does anyone else think that a warrior as mighty as Aragorn doesn''t get to prove it in a 1v1 in the books? Even though he's meant to be a subversion of the classic "Beowulf" character type, said duel doesn't have to be one of those kinds where it's the be-all and end-all of the story. It could...
Excellent article I found explaining this for those that aren't familiar with Tolkien's work. (please read before you go telling me that Aragorn's people didn't seal the Ringwraiths in tombs, I know they didn't lol...)
I just figured this would be good for you to show to someone if they ask...
I don't exactly know if this is the proper place but I want to ask it. What would be the appearance of a child whom parents are from different races? will Aragorn and Arwen's child have pointy ears? or be immortal?
Well, at the begining of The Return of the King (or at the end of The Two Towers, not sure), Aragorn decides to reveal himself to Sauron through the Palantir of Saruman. My question is: how could Aragorn resist such a meeting? He was, indeed, a King, and a great men, blessed with extended life...
Okay, so we have the following names for Aragorn:
Estel (as a child/young man)
Thengel (in Rohan)
Ecthelion (in Gondor)
Thorongil (in Gondor, as a ranger)
Elessar (as the King)
Elfstone (by Galadrial, the elves)
...and a few other nicknames
Point here is that Aragorn was known by alot of...
We read the book and we saw the movie adaptation on how Aragorn came to the hobbits rescue on top of Weathertop.
But how did really Aragorn rescued the hobbits?
C'mon, 5 nazgul including the Witchking and the One Ring is almost in their grasp (opportunity of a lifetime) and they left because...
When I first read these books, I had no idea Aragorn and Arwen were in love. I knew they had a relationship from meeting in Lorien, but until I saw the movies, I had no idea. I wasn't paying attention much, I guess. In Rivendell, Bilbo Baggins just told Aragorn that Arwen was at the feast, but...
We all know that after the death of the elves, their souls are gathered in Mandos, their stay is temporary for some (they could be re-embodied) or eternal (as the world lasts) for the others. But concerning the spirits of Men, even the Valar don’t know to which realm they pass after the crossing...
This question occurred to me when reading 'A Knife in the Dark' last night. It seems to me that Aragorn had no real purpose in taking the Hobbits to Weathertop, and knew that it was likely that the Nazgul would head for there. He also knew it would be possible to be spotted in the area, since...
Hi all,
I'd like an opinion on these two characters in interaction, but feel I first have to briefly outline the history of this issue as related to me.
A couple of weeks (or even months :confused: ) ago, I got involved into a discussion triggered by a post at one of the forums. The author...
This is one of my favorite moments in the entire series, Aragorn, eyes flashing in the sun, stirred by his inner strength, proclaims his heritage to the Riders of Rohan.
Now, basically he is giving his credentials, but looking at it from a logical rather than a star struck, I am going to faint...
How are they related exactly? Because I read Strider and Arwen are related, and I don't reckon its through Curubrian because she is the daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn and therefore is a full elf.
Also, do you think Tolkien gives too much weight to bloodlines, all the noblest or major people...
in the movie he is always day-dreaming about the elvin girl who gave him the pendent. And then some new girl likes him and always asks who the elf is. I wonder.... does aragorn even like thenew one. ( i know im not using names, i cant remember them, sry. But if u saw the movie, u would know wat...
Upon reading the trilogy for my 5th time, I did some perusing of the Appendices... and I noticed, I think for the first time, the crazy story of Thorongil!
Apparently Thorongil was the secret name used by Aragorn, when he lived in Minas Tirith in Gondor! This was just after he lived in Rohan...
The Return of the King- The Passing of the Grey Company tells us that after Aragorn & Co. camp at the Stone of Erech,...
What was Aragorn's journey of greatest haste and weariness?
Elrond and Elros are, from one way of looking at it, the most powerful elves.
They have the blood of one of the Miair, elves and men. Having that you would think that they would live longer or be stonger or something like that but in the book are no more powerful than anyother elf. Aragorn is...
