This is obviously a very simplified version of what she is asking for, but I think it captures the essence of the request pretty well. Make Frodo an honorary, temporary elf so he doesn't die before we can heal his wounds and stuff".
"Whatever makes Elves like myself super-special, and lets us live forever and heal faster than mortals - I want Frodo to have that too, at least until I get him to Rivendell where my dad can fix him up. You could rephrase it as something like this: She is asking for her Elven-ness to protect Frodo the same way it protects her. She's not saying "I give up my immortality for Frodo" or anything like that she's just saying that she wants Frodo to be taken under the same special consideration that Elves enjoy. I've always taken Arwen's statement at face value: She's an elf, and from a family who are powerful, even for the already-powerful Elven race. This being the case, here's my two cents: This means that, unless Peter Jackson decides to weigh in, we have to rely on speculation. So it seems like nothing more than Arwen asking the Valar to sustain him.Īs has been said several times before, this scene doesn't occur in the books 1, so what we see in the film is all we have to work with. The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films Part 1: The Fellowship of the Ring The Annotated Score Texts "Arwen's Prayer" What Grace is given me, let it pass to him. The second part of the Score, the choral lyrics, calls this "Arwen's Prayer", and the lyrics are an expanded version of the line quoted in the question: The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films Part 1: The Fellowship of the Ring The Annotated Score Disc Two 3: "Give Up the Halfling" Arwen offers him a blessing and the score returns to its Elvish vein, repeating Arwen's theme then echoing her words in female chorus. She defeats the Black Riders at the Ford of Bruinen, but the ride has taken its toll on Frodo.
Arwen picks up Frodo and, with Ringwraiths in pursuit, makes for Rivendell with all her might. In introducing Arwen's theme, Shore stresses the dulcet tones of female voices - the characteristic choral sound of the elves. The Annotated Score, of all things, has this to say about the scene:Īrwen encounters Aragorn and the hobbits in the forest. However, in the context of the movie, it would seem that Arwen is praying for the Valar to intercede. Peter Jackson substituted her for Glorfindel, probably for a few reasons (the romantic subplot makes sense, as does removing an appearance of an otherwise redundant character). As commenters have noted, Arwen was not originally intended to encounter Frodo in this scene.
