Re: For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo

[(Anonymous)]

Elrond's life

His mom basically tries to commit suicide. His brother and he are raised by the people who murdered their friends and family, which led to them losing their mom. They grow to love these people anyway. One commits suicide. The other wanders aimlessly forever.

Elrond's brother chooses to be human, so they are parted forever. Elrond then hangs out with his cousin Gil-galad, who dies in the Last Alliance. Elrond finally marries the girl he's been too shy to ask out for centuries. She ends up attacked and too scarred to keep living, and goes over the sea.

Then his daughter chooses a mortal life with his adopted son. And, Elrond's sons don't go with him over the sea. It's not definitive but it's entirely possible that this means they choose to be mortal too, so he loses all his kids.

Seriously, this guy needs a hug.

When I'm not looking from a POV sympathetic to Arwen, I can totally agree with you on this. In fact a lot of the Elves during the Third Age are in a tragic POV over events - they know their time is coming to an end in Middle-Earth and they have to decide whether they will head West or fade into... whatever happens to Elves when they don't sail.

The one thing I always think for those who sail is that they may end up meeting dead friends in Valinor who have been allowed to come back to the living world. Elrond may see his wife and a number of friends again - like Gil-Galad - because Elven immortality allows for rebirth too.

Yeah, but I still think he gets a raw deal. As a half-elf, a lot of his family is just gone. Pretty sure Dior and his sons are considered mortal, so Elrond will never meet them. He's never going to see his brother and children again. And I'm pretty sure that the Feanorians will never be released from Mandos.

I know fanon likes to have elves reincarnate all the time but from canon, it sounds like that's actually not as common. Or, at least, you have to wait a long time. So, I'd wager he's not going to see too many friends. And, I wonder if a lot of his friends (like maybe Thranduil? Celeborn?) remained in Middle-earth and he won't ever see them again. Maglor would be on that list.

Then there's the fact his father is pretty much consigned to sail forever. It really feels like Earendil and Elwing are taken out of elven society. If Elrond ever does get to see them, it's probably rare.

And I'm not sure his relationship with his wife is going to be that great. Who knows what kind of healing she's done and if it's sufficient? I'm pretty sure that whatever happens, she's not the same person she was.

He might get to be reunited with Gil-galad and some other friends but there's no denying he's lost a lot more than other elves - losses that aren't going to be remedied.
