Do Elves have two forms?

Curandir · 07-26-2002, 01:23 AM

I'm re-reading LOTR in preparation for the next movie, (and I ran out of Sword of Truth books) and something jumps out to me that I've never noticed before in either LOTR or the Silmarillion, The Elves seem to have two distinct forms of being. When Frodo crosses the Fords with the nine on his heals I beleive it was Glorfindel <sp> who was behind him chaseing the nine seemed to change in essance to both Frodo and the wraiths. Now I don't remember them talking about this in Sil or anywhere else in LOTR. Can any of you set me straight?
