When Did Aragorn Give the Pendant Back? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This confused me, too. He tried to give her back the pendant right before the fellowship left (she's wearing the same dress and you can see the courtyard in the background). When they're talking on the bridge, that's obviously before he leaves, so there's no tension. When they're kissing etc. on the balcony, that's before he left and there's still no tension. The smile confused me, but my mom tried to explain it. I thought it was a 'don't worry, I'm coming back.' smile, and my mom thinks it's a 'goodbye' smile. When he's talking to Galadriel, he in no way says "we're getting married, so there" he says (in elvish) "I would have her take the ship to Valinor." Oh well. None of this would be confusing if PJ had stuck to the book, but it does make for a more interesting storyline, as you don't know what's going to happen next .
