galadriel is evil?

[Kitanna]

Movie Galadriel seems somewhat more evil than book Galadriel. Instead of reading about her change when she is tempted we see it and for me that has a different affect. Because in the movie her voice changes as do her clothes and her look. In the books we only have the image our own minds show us and so she comes off as less evil.

But in the books outside of Lorien Galadriel is viewed as somewhat evil by the men of Gondor and Rohan. Boromir didn't want to enter the wood because the men of Minas Tirith feared her and the webs she weaved to ensnare men. Eomer felt the same way.

So not really evil in the books, but feared. Which is responsible because people tend to fear what they don't understand and make stories up about stuff. And men didn't really understand Galadriel so it's possible they viewed her as evil.

It is easy to see how in the movie though Galadriel can be taken for evil. But of course it is the Ring that is evil and Galadriel being tempted by it shows us a different side of her. Though even then I wouldn't call her evil.
