She was the daughter of a Half-Elf, which meant that she was subject to the choice of the Half-elven. She made her choice to be mortal when she married Aragorn. That had NOTHING to do with Frodo, or any ship. It was very much a product of a mental decision - i.e. she didn't enter a verbal agreement or sign a contract. She fell in love with a mortal man and accepted the fate of mortals. Once she did that, it would not have mattered if she got on a ship and set sail for Valinor. She had chosen mortality, so no ship was EVER going to take her there, period.<br /><br />Also, the ship that took Elrond, Gandalf, and Galadriel to Valinor was NOT the last damn ship. The books don't say this and the movie doesn't say it either. It was ONLY the ship that took the Ringbearers into the West - and it is not EVER said, not ANYWHERE, that Frodo was actually admitted into Valinor. He would have almost certainly not been allowed to sail past Tol Eressea, which is insight of the former.

I'm just overly-fangirlish;) I love Éowyn, as well, but I guess Arwen really captured me from the first time I watched the movies…but Éowyn is definitely another favorite!:DOliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-77564440713385777812015-03-28T21:03:39.717-04:002015-03-28T21:03:39.717-04:00I mean....

I always kind of preferred Eowyn. <br />Sorry!!!!!! ;)Lois Tinúvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01113667315479652015noreply@blogger.com
