      In a sense the two stories almost mirror each other.
      Both Beren and Aragorn meet Luthien and Arwen respectively in the exact same way and both call them Tenuviel(I hope that’s spelled right).
      Elrond and Luthien’s father both give the men near impossible tasks. For Beren he is to cut a Silmaril from Morgoth’s crown and Aragorn must become king of both Gondor and Arnor.
      Beren is given a dagger in order to cut the gem out of Morgoth and Aragorn is given Anduril, which was forged from Narsil, the very sword that cut the One Ring from Sauron’s finger.
      Both Luthien and Arwen give up their Elven immortality to live with their beloved

    So many people get married with the "happily ever after" mindset, but they forget the other part about the hardships. I've heard lots of people get at speaking about the negatives of life, but what true love is there if it can't handle hardships. It's the hardships that make Beren and Luthien, Strider and Arwen such solid couples.

      @@di3486 Kid, that's where you're wrong. There are plenty of such or variations of such even if small details are different. And even in cases where more major differences are notable, the hardships of the noted two couples from the original commentators is symbolic of hardships that reveal and temper true and genuine love as a whole.

    "There at last when the mallorn-leaves were falling, but spring had not yet come, she laid herself to rest upon Cerin Amroth; and there is her green grave, until the world is changed, and all the days of her life are utterly forgotten by the men that come after, and elanor and niphredil bloom no more east of the sea. And so passed Arwen Undómiel, Evenstar of her people and the likeness of Lúthien the beloved, whom they have lost. An an end was come to the Eldar, of story and of song."

    They're love is strong and everlasting however I've often wondered why Arwen was not buried by his side? It's nice that her final resting place was the spot where they first met but still, my modern mind can only ponder as to why 🤔

    Lovely... I have had to say farewell to my beloved man of Gondor.. .which is what I called him when I first met him. There is no sorrow worse than saying farewell to your beloved when he opens that door that you can not walk through, with him. As much as you love, your sorrow will be doubled when the other one, departs. I am no Arwen ... no beauty. I'm more like a hobbit or a dwarf, but our love was sublime for many years. Love demands everything of us, and gives us back, even more.
    Happy Valentines day to everyone. Appreciate what you have when you have it... there are no promises in life.

    "An image of the splendor of the kings, undimmed before the breaking of the world". I don't think the film-makers of The Lord of the Rings will ever understand the beauty, sorrow and granduer of what they created. Whenever I watch *that* scene I cry for the love and sadness I feel so deeply in my being; those lines so poignant in their speaking call to every part of my foolish, romantic heart.
    Thank you for making this video, I appreciate your storytelling, even though I only just recently found it. Your touch at the end was beautiful.
    "From this tale of love, happiness and sorrow, we see that we must never turn away from who we are meant to be, the trials we are meant to endure, or the wisdom that our hearts tell us. There come times for all things: love, hardships, life and death. And, we must must live with them all with what wisdom we can while we have such time."

    Awesome 💯💫
    So, Aragorn meet Arwen only 1 meeting since he was 20 years old- until age 49 then he meet Arwen for second time in Lothlórien (durind the visit of Lady Galadriel) 🤔
    "...But Arwen went forth from the House, and the light of her eyes was quenched, 🥹
    and it seemed to her people that she had become cold and grey as nightfall in winter that comes without a star...🌠
    ...and she went out from the city of Minas Tirith and passed away to the land of Lórien🍃
    and dwelt there alone under the fading trees until winter came 🍁🍂
    and the land was silent.
    ...There at last when the mallorn-leaves were falling, 🍂 but spring had not yet come... she laid herself to rest upon Cerin Amroth (the beauty Hill).
    and there is her green grave, until the world is changed, and all the days of her life are utterly forgotten by people that come after... 💔
    (Arwen, The End 😌 - 121 4th...)

    You finally answered my years long question. I always wondered if Arwen loved her children because in every telling of her story that I can find, it does not mention it. They all say she loved Aragorn, and when he passed, she fell into bitter despair and went off to the home of her people (which was gone now) and laid down and passed. I could not find anything saying she loved her children, said goodbye to them, or anything. It all made it sound like she only loved Aragorn, bore children for him to make him happy, but only loved him.
    Now, this brings me to another question brought up from this video. Since I always wondered if she loved her children, and if she loved them, why didn't she stay for them even after the passing of her husband? So, from this video, I am gathering that she was supposed to die. It was part of her trial, and her and Aragorn had completed all of them. With the exception of her still needing to pass from the world, which she finally did. Am I right?

    A reoccurring thing I found in all of the human-elf romances is it's always human man and elf woman also both are of the rich upper class or at least descended from nobility and the elf always gives up her immortality (which may explain a lot about how Tolkien saw his marriage story)

    This was the greatest evil of Melkor. He poisoned the Gift and put fear of the "Darkness" into Men. Said "Darkness" being the Gift to leave the world and be with Eru. The Edain at first turned away from the Darkness and went to Eru willingly, though not without grief from loved ones. But they who lived after knew that they would join their loved ones. So it was until the Shadow grew again in the Second Age. Melkor put forth his influence and the Fear came upon Men again. The one thing that they could not break free from. For even the best of Men had this Fear and clung to life, forgetting that death was truly a Gift. And so it is to this day. "Tried myself, in the school of affliction, by the loss of every form of connection which can rive the human heart, I know well, and feel what you have lost, what you have suffered, are suffering, and have yet to endure. the same trials have taught me that, for ills so immeasurable, time and silence are the only medecines. I will not therefore, by useless condolances, open afresh the sluices of your grief nor, altho’ mingling sincerely my tears with yours, will I say a word more, where words are vain, but that it is of some comfort to us both that the term is not very distant at which we are to deposit, in the same cerement, our sorrows and suffering bodies, and to ascend in essence to an ecstatic meeting with the friends we have loved & lost and whom we shall still love and never lose again." --Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, November 13, 1818 upon hearing of the death of Abigail Adams.

      Ummm... so what great Kingdoms did you have to reunite to get permission to date his daughter? Geezus the guy went 30 years into the wild and then had to ascend the throne of two kingdoms and you think you have it hard.
