Aragorn And Arwen
Where, apart from the appendices, does it mention the relation ship between Aragorn and Arwen

It's implied from Aragorn's conversations with her father Elrond, the fact that Aragorn is allowed to marry her once he reunites the kingdoms, and the fact that she knits him a lovely sweater, err, banner.

To embellish on FD's post:
There is scant mention of the relationship in LOTR proper. Look in FOTR chapter 6 "Lothlorien" and also Chapter 5 of ROTK "The Steward and the King." Quote:
Hope this helps.

Yeah, I think that was one of the weirder aspects of the book the first time I read it. I can remember having a kind of "huh? Where'd she come from?" moment when they got married the first time through.
The other reference, in Lothlorien (the chapter and the place) (and I think someone has this as a signature) is: Quote:

Take a further look at the many meetings at Rivendell pre-fellowship at which theres an unstated conection between Aragorn and Arwen and where Bilbo either teases Aragorn about Arwen or is just commiting a Hobbit "faux pas" (speaking with great hairy foot firmly lodge in mouth).

I always thought that in the exchange between Bilbo and Aragorn - Bilbo was almost being a fatherly type to Aragorn and just saying - "go ahead talk to her". I don't think he was teasing - but in some ways trying to hook them up. By Bilbo's statement - before reading the appendix - I always thought there was an unstated history between Aragorn and Arwen.

I'm not sure father is the right term for Bilbo isnt that older than Aragorn in actual years,and Aragorn has had more experience of ME than Bilbo.
I've always thought it a brotherly thing,more along the lines of "go on ask her out!",combining a little cheekyness with concern. What Bilbo actually meant is something different.He always seemed to me to be saying,"make the most of what time you have with her" meaning to relax a little. Aragorns reply seemed to confirm this by "saying" i'd love too but there are more important things i must do. Last edited by allsirgarnet : 02-06-2002 at 01:48 PM. |
