Tuor the Elf? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tuor wed Idril and thus was the second 2nd union between man and elf. As we all know, Tuor was the only man to be counted among the Eldar. Why was Tuor allowed to become an elf and sail to Valinor? Why can't Beren and Aragorn do just that? Shouldn't Idril have given up her immortality?

If Tuor was granted immortality because of his love for the Noldor, then I think Aragorn has displayed just as much love towards the Noldor and other Elves. IMO Tuor is a bit of a coward for rejecting the gift of men.
