LOTR question: Elrond can forsee things, right? *SPOILERS*

[ndee]

So he already knows that the ring will be destoryed and that Arwen will marry Aragorn, right?

i think it had something to do with free will, kinda like god and stuff.

he says he foresees her death. which means that she will choose to forgo her immortality to marry aragorn. but it doesn't mean she's going to die right away.

Sounds like a plot hole.

or he forsees things for 99%? Like... the ring wasn't meant to go to Bilbo.

Elrond can forsee things, right?

Not that I can recall...I think that was just thrown into the movies for some extra plot points.

He can foresee things, but not with complete accuracy. Think about the Palatiri and Galadriel's mirror. Even when they could literally forsee things, there was room for many interpretations of the images they saw, and the future is uncertain.

When Frodo asked Galadriel what he would see in the mirror, she told him even the wisest cannot tell.

I think Jackson et al threw it in to give the roles of Elrond and Arwen more substance.

Elrond can fortell things in the book too, though it's not drawn upon nearly as much as in the movies. In the appendix concerning Aragorn and Arwen there is quite a bit of dialog between Elrond and Aragorn that makes it quite plain that they can both see the furture, after a fashion.

Yeah, you are right. I just re-read that part of the APPENDICES and IDEXES.....
