Did Arwen do the right thing? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It's hard for a mortal like me to judge Arwen's decision of giving away something I will never have. But probably she new what she was doing - 3000 years old is mature enough to make weighted decisions. And she had half a century (from the time she first saw Aragorn to her wedding) to test her feelings and her decision.

By the way, Arwen's brothers weren't going to leave for Valinor either. I know it's not related to this thread, but IMO it just shows that Undying Lands weren't so much appealing for the younger generation of elves - or it felt like this for Elrond's children only?
