In Reply To: The Last Debate #2, Elvish Lives! *slap* Okay, sorry, here are the questions  <Kendig>  [9/15/2003 @ 19:18]  (16/30)

Some Quick Thoughts
Message:

1) I'd say yes, the story of Mithrellas and Imrazor does appear to show that there is an elvish ancestry to Dol Amroth.  As to comparing their story to that of Beren and Luthien, don't forget that Luthien is herself only half Elvish.  Her mother was Melian a Maiar, who existed before Arda or even Ea were even thought of.  I think it was this 'angelic' ancestry which allowed their descendants a measure of choice over which 'race' they could belong to, Elven or Men, as they had a foothold outside of both.  Who knows, maybe there were other unions of Elves and Men?  There didn't seem to be any insurmountable barrier between the races, even though there were obvious difficulties.  In the debate of Andreth and Finrod we learn that the wise woman Andreth and Finrod's brother Aegnor were very close, and that it was only the closeness of War that prevent their union.  I'd guess though that if there were the outcomes would be similar to Mithrellas and Imrazor, with the Elven partner leaving in the end.

2) As far as Aragorn's not wanting to push things, I'd say he was being very wise there.  The Lord Denethor, who the people had been loyal to for decades, had only just died, and under obscure circumstances involving his friend Gandalf.  In their grief there could have been some who would have been suspicious of Aragorn, just as Denethor himself was.
