We don't get to know Arwen. [In reply to] Can't Post

She's more of a symbol than a real person. Of course, so, to some extent, are Goldberry and Galadriel and even down-to-earth Rosie. The central romance in LotR is not Aragorn and Arwen, or Sam and Rosie, but Faramir and Eowyn, and to some extent Eowyn and Aragorn, although Aragorn does not return her love in the fashion she seeks it. I suppose we can add Grima and Eowyn into that mix as well, although that is more lust than love.
