He begged her three times for a single strand of her hair, but even though she was young and inexperienced at this point, she looked into his soul and saw that his intentions were not fair and benevolent, but were driven by greed and a desire to possess something more precious than the other elves of the time.
On multiple occasions, she was asked by the Elf Fëanor for a strand of her hair. In The Silmarillion, it's explained that Fëanor was one of, if not the greatest, Elf who ever lived. There was speculation that Galadriel's hair inspired Fëanor to create three shining jewels known as the Silmarils.
In the Fellowship of the Ring Gimli asks Lady Galadriel for a single strand of her hair. She then honors him with three. The surrounding elves seem very astonished by the gift she bestowed upon Gimli. What is the significance of her giving him three strands of her hair?
The short answer is that each of the gifts that were in the film played significant parts in the future movies whereas Boromir's gift had no future importance. In the book it was a "belt of gold".
Thus, Galadriel's dark form in Jackson's The Lord of the Rings personified what would have occurred had the Lady of Lothlorien given in to temptation and taken the One Ring for herself. She would have succumbed to evil because the Ring was indomitable, even with her power.
In The Lord of the Rings, it is said that had Galadriel chosen to use her powers for evil instead of good, she would have been even more destructive and terrifying than Sauron himself. Galadriel was the greatest and most powerful of all Elves in Middle Earth in the Third Age.
As shown in The Rings of Power, she traveled to the ends of the Middle-earth to seek out Sauron. Her consuming anger was born of loss and suffering.
Boromir was put under great stress by his father to retrieve the Ring, and he let the Ring take control of his mind. Because of this, he is ashamed and disappointed in himself. This proves the Boromir is at his core a good person. Boromir knows what he has been thinking is wrong, and so he cries.
Before the Company of the Ring left Lothlórien, Galadriel presented each of them with gifts: "To Legolas she gave a bow such as the Galadhrim used. The bow was longer and stouter than the bows of Mirkwood, and it was strung with a string of elf-hair". The gift was accompanied by a quiver of arrows.
But when it becomes clear to Galadriel that Halbrand/Sauron cannot tell the difference between “saving” and “ruling” Middle-earth, she rejects his proposal. Sauron enchants Galadriel, and when she awakes, he has disappeared.
Gimli is enamored of Galadriel from the moment he meets her. She speaks to him kindly, and her words, along with her great beauty, make a strong impression on the Dwarf. Galadriel herself cements Gimli's love for her with her parting gift to him of three hairs from her own head.
In the chapter The Mirror of Galadriel, Frodo is told by Galadriel that the Elves would never accept Sauron, now that they know him.
Breaking: Legolas Had a Huge Crush on Galadriel.
Celeborn doesn't do much in J.R.R. Tolkien's history. He's a character who is so boring that Tolkien basically forgot to write him. Galadriel met him after she left Valinor; they fell in love, got married, and stayed the hell out of drama for the entire First Age.
She appears in the novel The Lord of the Rings. Arwen is one of the half-elven who lived during the Third Age; her father was Elrond half-elven, lord of the Elvish sanctuary of Rivendell, while her mother was the Elf Celebrian, daughter of the Elf-queen Galadriel, ruler of Lothlórien.
Yes, they do. During the Second Age, Galadriel and Celeborn have a daughter, Celebrían. She joins them in Imaldris after they leave Eregion. There, Elrond falls in love with her, and during the Third Age, the two of them marry, making Galadriel Elrond's mother-in-law.
the Evenstar, a jewel which Arwen gives to her love Aragorn; invented for The Lord of the Rings film series directed by Peter Jackson.
Before the Company of the Ring left Lothlórien, each of its members was presented with a gift by Galadriel. Boromir was given a belt of gold which he carried in the journey until the Breaking of the Fellowship. When Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas laid him in his burial boat, the golden belt gleamed about his waist.
Yet, since Tolkien does give family trees for other important Elves in the book, such as Galadriel and Elrond, it's clear that Galadriel is not Legolas's mother. (Besides, she is one of the Noldor, not a Silvan or Sindar Elf.)
Sauron feared Galadriel as one of his greatest enemies because she had seen through him. She had seen that he was a liar and she spoke out to Celebrimbor and the Hollin/Eregion elves that they should not trust him.
As she desperately wonders what to do as the other elves on board her ship are engulfed by light, Galadriel remembers her exchange with Finrod. After she asked her brother “How do I know which lights to follow?” we now hear Finrod's answer. He said, “Sometimes we cannot know until we have touched the darkness.”
In several places, it is described that the three were made by the elves, and that they were untouched by Sauron. While they were subject to the One, they were not made by Sauron to dominate others. So the three did not corrupt the wearer.
Though neither is someone you'd wish to annoy, Galadriel is generally considered more powerful than Elrond in Lord of the Rings. Not only is she older than her Rivendell counterpart, but Galadriel witnessed the light from Valinor's Two Trees, giving her a mystic quality.
Type of Hero
In the film series, she serves as a supporting character in both The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit trilogy. In The Lord of the Rings, she appears as a supporting character in The Fellowship of the Ring, and a minor character in both The Two Towers and The Return of the King.
When Galadriel kissed Gandalf to heal him, she transferred a portion of her life force in order to allow the Wizard to recover. This action, done in haste, exhausted her. Couple that with the evil presence of Sauron, the reason for her collapse becomes evident.
