Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power
The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power is just around the corner and is all tied up to take us once again on a memorable journey to Middle-earth. The works of legendary fantasy novelist JRR Tolkien, namely The Lord of the Rings as well as its sequels, serve as the inspiration and basis for the highly anticipated mini-series.
Created by filmmakers JD Payne as well as Patrick Mckay exclusively for Amazon Prime, Rings of Power serves as a rehash of Tolkien’s original idea. The miniseries takes place in a period known as the Second Age, several hundred years before the adventures of Frodo and Bilbo Baggins.
Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) is, without a doubt, one of the most underlying and pivotal protagonists in this moving and thrilling tale of Tolkien’s Middle-earth mythology. To avenge the murder of her brother at the hands of the invaders, Galadriel presents herself as a fiery ball of anger.
But who is Galadriel really? Let’s find out.
Who is “Galadriel”?
As “Lady of Lothlorien”, Galadriel has several titles to her name. Tolkien, the legendary novelist, also thought she was one of the most impressive elves in his fictional Middle-earth. Galadriel and his wife, Celeborn, presided over Lothlorien. Former admirers gushed about her charm, wit and authority.
If we follow Middle-earth canon closely, Galadriel is shrouded in secrecy. It seems that she has perfect vision and omniscience. She does not participate in the battle against the Dark Lord herself, however, she helps Gil-galad, Elrond and Celebrimbor. Galadriel herself says she has the potential for immense splendor and enormous horror. Even though she battles her own demons in the LOTR movies, she overcomes the challenge thrown at her and rejects the ring of power.
Galadriel is the guardian of “Nenya”, one of the 19 rings
This elvish ring, says “Nenya», was kept by Galadriel. She was tasked with hiding the ring and protecting it from the tainted gaze of the evil eye that lurks on Mount Doom. While the Dwarves and Humans received 16 of the 19 Rings crafted (7 to the Dwarves as well as 9 to the Humans), the Elves created the remaining 3 Rings even without Sauron’s help. The Elves hid these three rings from Sauron as they were not made for combat but rather for repair and defense.
Celebrimbor gave her the ring in Lothlorien. Galadriel was allowed to keep Nenya, while Gandalf received Narya from Cirdan and Vilya from Gil-galad was given to Elrond.
Galadriel, Elrond and Gandalf became the Keepers of the Three Rings after this, with the responsibility of protecting it from the Dark Lord of Sauron until the fall of the One Ring, which the Dark Lord had constructed to exert influence over Middle-earth and the rest of the rings.
Galadriel is a character created by Jackson specifically for the film version of The Hobbit since she has no actual mention in the book. She has a supporting role in all three films. When she was originally introduced in the first episode, she plays an important role during a meeting of the White Council with Elrond, Saruman and Gandalf, et. She accepts Gandalf’s assertion that the Necromancer poses a growing danger and that action is needed against Dol Guldur.
