Gandalf And Arwen In Elrond's The Lord Of The Rings

313 Words2 Pages

As the set of trilogy moves forward, new signs appear to neutralize the enticement of the ring. The sword Anduril stands for unity and goodness, instead of insidiousness and disunity. At the point when Elrond presents the sword to Aragorn, he says that the destiny of Arwen has been connected to the destiny of the ring: as the ring develops stronger, she becomes weaker. Arwen, thus, serves as a sort of image herself, the exact opposite of Sauron: the opposition to ring, the image of faith and goodness.
All through The Lord of the Rings, water symbolizes as a lifesaving power for the good creatures of Middle-earth. Gandalf and Aragorn are spared from death after long falls when they arrive in waterways. At the point when Arwen races to Rivendell

Gollum, the most obvious of characters where greed is observed in this series, was once a young hobbit who went by the name Sméagol.
