An Arwen Discrepancy

[Kuruharan]

The point is, when she did not go with Elrond into the West, she became Mortal, and eventually would have died. Elrond's children had the choice of going into the West and remaining Immortal or to stay and become Mortal, Elrond was told this when he himself made the choice at the end of the First Age. Arwen could not change that to live forever. And she had already lived for 2900 years.

Yes, that's true. However, I'm afraid that you missed my point. She loved Aragorn so much that she gave up her immortality for him. I don't think that there was anyway that once Aragorn died that the grief could not have killed her. That was just a part of her decision. So, if she had not fallen in love with Aragorn, which eventually caused the grief she felt for him, she would have lived forever.

So I'm afraid that I am respectfully disagreeing with the viewpoint that she could have chosen to stay.
