Arwen's vision, seen in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, shows her future son with Aragorn, a boy named Eldarion, running to his father, who lifts him joyfully; the boy wears her Evenstar pendant, confirming his identity, and his knowing look motivates Arwen to turn back from the Grey Havens to stay in Middle-earth and embrace a mortal life with Aragorn, despite her father Elrond's warnings of death.
However, Arwen begins to have a vision of foresight of a possible future. She watches a little boy running across the pathway and sees him being picked up by Aragorn while they are in Gondor. Arwen realizes that he is her son, Eldarion when she notices the star of Elendil on his necklace.
Arwen travels with a company of Elves to the Grey Havens. She has a vision of a child clothed in white running across her path. She watches as the boy runs with his arms outstretched to his father, an aged Aragorn, who picks him up with joy and kisses him.
Since Aragorn was already mortal, their son, Eldarion, was fully human and had no option for immortality. In short, the choice was granted only once, and it did not extend beyond Elrond's children. Any descendant of a mortal who had chosen humanity (such as Elros or Arwen) was bound to mortality without exception.
By lingering behind, she chose mortality so she could rejoin him. She died a year after him of heartbreak if I recall correctly. She chose a mortal life to be with Aragorn, as such she could no longer travel to or set foot upon Valinor. Gimli, Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam were the only mortals ever granted passage to Valinor.
Tolkien's description of Gollum conforms to a Catholic – and Thomistic – account of envy, which is a “sadness of the soul”; and it is Gollum's unbearable sadness and his unquenchable desire for the one Ring that marks his character.
Everyone is going to have a different answer but, for elves, I assume this: The human equivalent is x5 up to 'mid-twenties' bracket. So, a '16yo' is 80 years while a '24yo' is 120 years. After that, the aging process essentially stops.
It's not the years; it's the mileage. Gandalf isn't a Maia in the same way Sauron is. He was sent to middle earth as an old man, so his body is much more real than Sauron's “raiment”. He can't use his power to the same extent, he can't change his forms at will.
Legolas's people are a blend of Silvan and Sindar Elves. His grandfather, Oropher, was a refugee from the great Elven city of Doriath, which was destroyed in the terrible battle with Morgoth at the end of the First Age.
Arwen: And to that I hold. I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.
So Arwen's other name, Undómiel, comes from the words undómë meaning evening, and el meaning star. It's also a reference to the evening star, which is Eärendil's Silmaril in the Legendarium and the planet Venus in real life.
And after Aragorn's death, Legolas built a ship in Ithilien and sailed down the Anduin River, passing beyond the sea. It's said that Gimli joined him on that journey. With their departure, the tale of the Fellowship of the Ring came to an end. Some say the two had many adventures together in the Undying Lands.
If Gandalf had stayed dead after his sacrifice in The Fellowship of the Ring, then his demise would be the saddest in the trilogy, but since he came back, the saddest single death scene of all three movies goes to Boromir's.
The only vague connection to the Ring that Arwen has is Aragorn would not have become High King of Gondor and Arnor if the One Ring were not destroyed. If the Ring had not been destroyed she would have probably been forced to flee Middle Earth with the rest of the elves.
Gollum is a hobbit that is featured in The Lord of The Rings, where his story his primarily focused on his possessive love of the One Ring. The power of the ring causes an unusual extension of life and in Gollum's case caused him to live to around 500 years old.
In Valinor, Gandalf, a Maia, was named Olórin, one of the people of the Vala Manwë, and the wisest of the Maiar. He was closely associated with two other Valar: Irmo, in whose gardens he lived, and Nienna, the patron of mercy, who gave him tutelage.
The Ent who figures most prominently in the book is Treebeard, who is called the oldest creature in Middle-earth.
Age. Half-orcs mature a little faster than humans, reaching adulthood around age 14. They age noticeably faster and rarely live longer than 75 years.
Puberty and full height are attained at around their fiftieth to one hundredth year, when they stop aging physically. Elves marry freely, monogamously, only once, and for love early in life; adultery is unthinkable.
The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder of Frodo Baggins
J.R.R. Tolkien in The Lord of the Rings accurately portrayed the signs and symptoms of what is currently labeled Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Frodo's condition logically follows his experiences of less than a year in the War of the Ring.
The clearest same-sex relationship in the novel, in the eyes of scholars, is that of the ringbearer Frodo Baggins and his servant, originally his gardener, Sam. Tolkien described their relationship as like that of an officer in the British Army and his military servant or batman.
Merry and Pippin both died decades BEFORE Aragorn died. Merry and Pippin died in FA 63, while Aragorn died in FA 120 - and it was after this that Legolas and Gimli sailed to the Undying Lands. All of this is made patently clear in Tolkien's own timelines.
