The Point of the Unions - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was wondering about the union between Arwen and Aragorn. The point of that marriage may well be what Tolkien said in the appendix: "the two lines of the Half-Elven finally joined together."(that's not a direct quote, just an idea, I am too lazy to check right now.)

maybe Tolkien just don't want to deal with the Half-Elven anymore...he had to give them excuses for every choice they make...

Arwen was the last of the Noldor in ME. All the Noldor left with Elrond. Maybe the Noldor had a special ban or something considering the curse of Mandos.
But I still think, Aragon couldn't leave and Arwen couldn't live without him.
