I've just found a great article about why Elrond chose Legolas as one of the fellowship. Here's a quote from it: Elrond likely sees Legolas as a blithe spirit who can infuse the Fellowship with a bit of much-needed optimism. The Wood-Elf's personality is light-hearted and transparent. He is "simple", in the best sense, rather than crafty and devious. He also displays a playful sense of humor. Most important, he is free of the world-weariness that infects many older Elves, including Elrond. The whole thing is at: www.jrrtolkienepics.com/Legolas.htmlFascinating stuff! Neneithel |

Very interesting! You know, when I first saw the title of this I thought you'd gone insane and needed reminding why Legolas is so attractive lol. Should not have drunk that WKD so fast...  |

I hope I'd be dragged off by the men in white coats before I got to that stage! I'm mad, but not that mad! Legolas is perfect!  |

I love his bow. I do archery and I can tell you it is truly a wonderful bow.

Oh, yes, I want so much to have a bow like his! It's gorgeous!! I shoot a recurve, and it's nice, but what I wouldn't give for one like his!!

Good quote! I agree with it totally. He is very optamistic and one thing I love is that in the book it says that he is not afraid of death. Nothing in him would keep him from finishing the task. I think Elrond might have chosen him as well to have an Elf present in the Fellowship. The Elves were people of Middle Earth, too, and needed to show their support for the Ringbearer.

Great article... thanks for the link!
I think it's beyond doubt that one of the 9 should be an elf... the q is just who... someone younger who still feels the connection with ME and is not weary and just waiting for the ship that'll take him out... also his love to nature, his modesty, his non-political views... all this guarantees that he's not going to be tempted by the ring as well.
