Arwen's strength comes from her Elven heritage, ancient lineage (descended from Lúthien and Melian, a Maia), immense age, wisdom, and the inherent power of Elves, but most notably her inner fortitude, sacrificial love, and subtle but profound influence, choosing mortality for Aragorn, a choice embodying immense spiritual strength and defying her immortality. While the movies depict her wielding significant magic, like the flood at the Ford of Bruinen (originally Elrond's feat), her true power lies in her steadfastness, grace, and connection to the fading Elven world, making her a powerful symbol of enduring love and hope.
Through both of her parents, Arwen was a direct descendant of the ancient Elven House of Finwë. Furthermore, Arwen was a descendant of Beren and Lúthien, whose story resembled hers. Indeed, Arwen was held to be the reappearance in likeness of Lúthien, fairest of all the Elves, who was called Nightingale (Tinúviel).
Powers and abilities
Wrath of Bruinen- Arwen is able to cast spells by chanting in Quenya. When speaking to the river, she summons a mighty flood that shapes itself like watery horses. It is less potent if she has to evoke the spell without a water source.
Second, the fact that Elrond says that as Sauron's power grows, Arwen's wanes. This has to do with the nature of Elves in Middle Earth. Because the kingdom's of the elves are sustained by the Elven rings (Vilya in this case), as Sauron's power grows, all of the power of the Elves wanes.
Just like it had happened with their parents (also Half- Elves), they were given a choice to choose the life of an Elf or the life of a Human. Elrond chose the immortality of Elves, and his brother chose the Humans, the first one to do so. He lived 500 years, which is not too shabby.
He is a Sindar Elf of the Woodland Realm and son of its king, Thranduil, becoming one of the nine members of the Fellowship who set out to destroy the One Ring. Though Dwarves and Elves are traditionally rivals, he and the Dwarf Gimli form a close friendship during their travels together.
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.
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.
His task was to do the bidding of his masters and so when he proved unfaithful in doing that task his masters stripped him of his robes and gave them to one who would do their bidding. Gandalf is now the White, Saruman as he should have been.
Arwen: And to that I hold. I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.
'The Fellowship of the Ring' (2001)
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.
It's a tie between Arwen and Galadriel. Pick Arwen and Gimli will challenge you; pick Galadriel and Eomer will challenge you. Both are approximately as beautiful as Luthien, the half-angel daughter of Melian and Thingol, in the First Age, and it's just about canon that no one (or at least no one inc…
Arwen married Aragorn in the year 3019 of the Third Age, when he was 88 years old and she was 2,778 years old. The last year of the Third Age was 3021. Aragorn ruled until the year 120 of the Fourth Age, when he was 210 years old.
Arwen chose a fate different from her father's and did not sail to the West. Instead, she gifted Frodo, as the Ring-bearer, passage in her stead, as she foresaw that his burden would not be lifted. She also gifted him a necklace with a white gem.
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.
As a Maia, Gandalf was an angelic being in human form, in service to the Creator (Eru Ilúvatar) and the Creator's 'Secret Fire'. He took on the specific form of an old man as a sign of his humility. His role was to advise but never to attempt to match Sauron's strength.
The Ring's effects
Inversely, the hobbits' good-naturedness and lack of ambition makes them less susceptible to the Ring's promises of power, as in Frodo and Samwise Gamgee, who are able to handle the Ring for extended periods of time.

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.
Peter Jackson, the director of The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, made the decision to cut Tom Bombadil's character from the movies, primarily for narrative reasons. According to Jackson, Bombadil's scenes in the book, while intriguing, did not significantly advance the main plot of the story.
Melkor is the most powerful of the Valar but he turns to darkness and is renamed Morgoth, the primary antagonist of Arda. All evil in the world of Middle-earth ultimately stems from him. One of the Maiar of Aulë betrays his kind and becomes Morgoth's principal lieutenant and successor, Sauron.
