(Anonymous) 2016-07-28 02:28 am (UTC)(link)Also, there is something so dramatically powerful about the image of one twin never aging and living on for all eternity, while the other twin lives and dies and has children who live and die, and grandchildren and great-grandchildren ad infinitum who live and die as well, all the spans of their lives, millennia in, millennia out, running parallel to the life of their zillion-times-removed uncle. It's like holding two vastly different versions of immortality side-by side - the immortality of a single individual's flesh and memory, and the immortality of cultural heritage and genetic lineage.
And I have so many feelings about the fifteen Dunedain Elrond fostered and educated in their youth, and cared for in their old age, up to Aragorn. Not to mention the unnaturally-strong genetics that seem to bulldoze all other physical traits into dark-hair-grey-eyes even after 6,000 years. Even so many generations of Dunedain down, does Elrond ever notice that this one's eyes look just like Elros's, that this other one's smile looks just like Elros's, that this one's chin looks almost like Elros's, but not quite, maybe it's just a coincidence...? Do any of them ever look at Elrond and feel startled by how something about him reminds them of their father, or uncle, or sister?
