thats because Galadriel didnt bring an entire city crashing around the inhabitants' ears. There is little difference in the attidutes of these two characters, but their fates are quite different. When Galadriel dashed off to M.E. there was little or no thought involved, she just went because she felt like it, not giving much thought to the consequences of her actions. Even so, she gets a happy ending, which undermines what JRRT was trying to get at (i think) with Aredhel.
