Galadriel - the matchmaker?

[VanimaEdhel]

I agree with what Galorme said that Tolkien would say. The role of fate in all of his books motivated many characters to do a variety different things, in and out of their normal character. Even if Galadriel had not known of Aragorn and Arwen's fate, there may have been something that motivated her to do what she did. She could not explain it, but she knew that it was "right". Or, she did not even know that it was "right", and she just did what she did. Either way, it was fate for King Elessar to end up with Arwen Undomiel, whether Galadriel played a hand in it or not. Most likely, however, because of her insight (although not as attuned as the visions of a Maiar would be, such as Melian), Galadriel saw that something important would come of Aragorn because of his clothing and how he was presented (or that could just be my adolescent feminine overstatement of the importance of clothing). I do not think that Galadriel would be completely oblivious to what she was doing, for she had foresight of many things.
