I agree, Saucepan, though Elrond's request was almost equally as hopeless as Thingol's. You're right, because Elrond really had nothing against Arwen and Aragorn's marriage, he just wanted to ensure her future. They are remarkably similiar, all the same. I'm wondering if perhaps Tolkien wanted to bring his favorite tale into his epic work in more than a song...
