"She has much to learn if she is to survive here, my Galadriel." I so liked that Celeborn, although seeing her through the eyes of love, is not blind to her arrogance and pride. He may love her, but he doesn't like the way she and her people treat the Sindar. I have to agree with him - I could never understand why the Calaquendi looked down on the Moriquendi. It's not like the Noldor who came to Middle-earth had a lot to be proud of. :-/ I am really enjoying these insights into Celeborn's thoughts during this time! Linda Author Reply: I like to think that in his own way, Celeborn brought her around to his way of thinking. After all, she did go to live with him as opposed to asking him to go live with her in a Noldorin realm. I read somewhere that the elves of Valinor were as far above the elves who never left Middle-earth as those elves were above the first humans they encountered. I think the Calaquendi saw the Moriquendi as country bumpkins, if you will. Although as you pointed out, it didn't help the "Calaquendi" much in the end, did it? Glad you are enjoying this so much! Thanks for reading and reviewing! | |
