Why does Arwen have to go to the undying lands?
Arwen reciprocated Aragorn’s love, and on the mound of Cerin Amroth they committed themselves to marrying each other. In making that choice, Arwen gave up the Elvish immortality available to her as a daughter of Elrond, and agreed to remain in Middle-earth instead of travelling to the Undying Lands.
Why did Elrond not go with Arwen?
Elrond chose to be an Elf. Elrond was then told that when he finally left for Valinor, if his children didn’t go with him, they would become mortal. So the moment Elrond’s ship sailed without Arwen, she became a Man, although she—like the Númenoreans—had the privilege of choosing when to die, as Aragorn did.
Why does Arwen need to leave?
In movieverse, the ‘evil that spreads from Mordor’ was in some way affecting the Elves. They were becoming weaker and they felt threatened. But all the Elves had ‘the life of the Eldar’, so they were protected. Once Arwen renounced her immortality, ‘the life of the Eldar left her’ as Elrond said.
Could Arwen have abandoned Aragorn and Gone with Elrond?
Arwen could have abandoned Aragorn and gone with Elrond, but she didn’t. When the ship sailed without her, that was it. Her brothers didn’t go either, and became mortal as well. Tolkien’s marriages are so utterly ironclad that I actually think she became mortal when she betrothed herself to Aragorn.
