Lady Galadriel is one of Tolkien's greatest characters

I adore Morfydd Clark. And Galadriel is by far my favorite in LotR. Thanks for the video.

Think of elves as cyborgs with unlimited energy ! Some went to duracell to super charged and some stayed and kept charging up by the stars !

What if...... the mouth of Sauron was one of the corrupted Istari that was sent far east where the Haradrin where?

She knew that her powers were way to vast and the One ring knows One Master. If she wore the ring there wouldn’t be any story. Just her realm and that’s it.

yeah but how do you tell an Elf "Man" and an Elf woman apart?

Not the strongest, but one of the oldest in Middle Earth, and one of the wisest. That is where her true strength resides. That said the power she does have is enough to make her one of the mightiest. The greatest disservice ever done to a strong female central character has been Amazon's portrayal of Galadriel, which tried to turn her into a moody teenage action hero.

Keep in mind, any who haven't read Tolkien's complete works, that by the time of the Second Age Galadriel was many thousands of years old, and she had studied under Melian the Maia. Melian is the ancestor of Aragorn and Elrond, because her daughter was half elvish half Maia, and she was Luthien who married a man. Their line married into a second half elf union and produced the twins Elrond and Elros the half elven. As stated in the video Arwen, Elrond's daughter was granddaughter of Galadriel. The amount of ancient power that she had teaching her, partly within her, and that she dedicated to those around her instead of herself is what makes her such a central figure in all of Tolkien's work. It is probably why Tolkien had such a hard time writing her, which ultimately came together in her falling under the Ban of the Valar even though she did not participate in the kinslaying in Aman.

"(Galadriel) was then of Amazon disposition...” (The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, Letter 348). Tolkien only and exclusively used the term "amazon" for warrior women like Measse, Haleth and her warriors and Galadriel. He explicitly said that e.g. Eowyn was not an amazon. "Even after the merciless assault upon the Teleri and the rape of their ships, though she [Galadriel] fought fiercely against Feanor in defence of her mother's kin, she did not turn back. Her pride was unwilling to return, a defeated suppliant for pardon; but now she burned with desire to follow Feanor with her anger to whatever lands he might come, and to thwart him in all ways that she could." (Unfinished Tales) "She looked upon the Dwarves also with the eye of a commander, seeing in them the finest warriors to pit against the Orcs" - (Unfinished Tales). That quote is Second Age, from the period of time of the forging of the Rings of Power.

@@anni.68 you mistake Tolkien's use of the word, when he used it to describe " male like" tendencies and leadership in women. His other descriptions of "Man maiden" point to this. She was not a warrior in the sense that she put on armor, grabbed a sword, and went into battle.

@@patrickhenry236No, I do not mistake Tolkien's use of the word. Did you even read the quotes? There are other female leaders and none of them he ever described as "amazons", except Haleth, who was indeed a warrior. In Parma Eldalamberon Tolkien translates the word "Amazon" into "Gothwin" in Elvish and the literal translation of Gothwin into English is "War Woman". Tolkien was a philologist and professor for the English language. He knew exactly which terms he used for which character. But maybe you know better than Tolkien? And yes, Galadriel did grab a sword and went into battle in Alqualonde and in the Second Age, when she went through Kazad-dum, she watched the armies of the Dwarves with the "eye of a commander". And now tell me a single rational reason why Tolkien wrote all of these things about Galadriel, but did not mean ANY of it.

@patrickhenry236 Ай бұрын

@@anni.68 Context matters. Tolkien in the Silmarillion didn't set her up as a warrior. The context being that her mannerisms were very male like. Her pride, her desire for Authority, and throughout The Lord of The Rings and the Silmarillion, the two most important works in Which Galadriel is part Tolkien chose to paint her as a foe of Sauron. The only Battle the Silmarillion implies but does not specifically state her presence at was the battle of Lammoth. Tolkien himself also stated Galadriel out of all the Noldor recognized that the War of Wrath would not be won without the Valar. As a leader, a wise woman, and a sorceress is how Tolkien gave her power. It was not through wielding a sword or being in armor, and she did not arrive at Lammoth in that way.

Definitely nowhere near the strongest elf ever. One of the strongest elves in the 3rd age. With cirdan, elrond, glorfindel all being probably stronger than her in the 3rd age. But 1st age elves like fleanor were way stronger than her.

@@TheMedijuana Galadriel's depiction in the Rings of Power is pretty accurate. They based her portrayal mostly on Unfinished Tales, but there are other descriptions of her scattered all over his books.

Elrond, Cirdan and Glorfindel were most likely the more experienced warriors and physically stronger than her, but "[Sauron] perceived at once that Galadriel would be his chief adversary and obstacle" (Unfinished Tales). „Galadriel was the greatest of the Noldor, except Fëanor maybe, though she was wiser than he, and her wisdom increased with the long years...she was strong of body, mind and will, a match for both the loremasters and the athletes of the Eldar in the days of their youth. (J.R.R. Tolkien, Unfinished Tales, The History of Galadriel and Celeborn)

@benLandgraf Ай бұрын

The thing is Galadriel was only second to feanor. She was the mightiest, fairest, most beautiful and wise elf remaining in middle earth. She was/is stronger then Elrond, Cirdan and maybe glorfindel. She was as tall and strong as a man surpassing femal elves in strength and beauty. She combines the two houses of the high elves and dark elves. Even Elrond which ancestor was a maiar is not as strong as her. Cirdans strength was not his physical strength but more his wisdom. The funny thing is and to portray how strong Galadriel is here a little story in short. Sauron one of the strongest maiar was most powerful in the unseen world and in dominating the mind of others (also reading their minds). In a standoff against Galadriel and sauron, Galadriel could enter and read Sauron’s mind while he couldn’t read hers. That alone is a great feat if u think about it. A maiar an angelic being who’s main power was to dominate the mind could enter hers.

Glorfindel was without question the most powerful. Elrond was more powerful than Galadriel, as he was part Valar. So was Aragorn. Galadriels power was more of the mind, she could make an army run in fear with a thought. Glorfindel was so powerful that Gandalf refused him joining the fellowship because Sauron would see his power shining from miles away. Just like Morgoth cowering in fear at the sight of Tulkas, Sauron and the Nine feared Glorfindel more than any other.
