When I first caught wind of the rumor that Arwen would be
portrayed as the warrior princess type I was shocked and appalled. Arwen Evenstar was
never meant to be a sword-wielding heroin!
In the books she was guarded like a treasure and was rarely
even seen by mortals. The mere idea that she'd be riding into battle with blood stained
garments defeats the whole perhaps of her character. Eowyn and Galadriel are the only
heroines the books need.
Words cannot describe the beauty and the power of these books so why do they need to be
altered? Please don't mess things up! |
