| Jul 7, 2019 at 17:42 | comment | added | Buzz | The origin of the confusion is that Galadriel was a character created for The Lord of the Rings, who Tolkien only later began to integrate into the earlier stories. Given his unsystematic way of revising The Silmarillion, some parts of the story were never fully updated to account for elements added for The Lord of the Rings. | |

| Jul 7, 2019 at 16:18 | comment | added | 3N4N | @Edlothiad, so wouldn't you agree that the part of Galadriel's refusal of pardon and second ban would be added in The Silmarillion, since it was after Tolkien's death and his lore were present? This is nagging because even though I know Tolkien wanted to create numerous stories set in the same world, I really would've loved to get important characters explained within the books they appear in. For example, I don't care that I don't know who Tom Bombadil is, but I really want to know what the speech of Galadriel was about after refusing the Ring, and I want it to be in the LotR. | |

| Jul 7, 2019 at 15:37 | comment | added | M. A. Golding | It is perfectly possible that at the end of the 1st Age and beginning of the 2nd Age Galadriel was both forbidden to return to Aman and also wished to remain in Middle Earth. Thus both statements would be partially correct but omit some details. It is also possible that the Red Book of Westmarch and other surviving sources from those days contained contradictory statements about Galadriel's status. It is also possible that Tolkien sometimes forgot what he previously wrote and contradicted himself. He eventually planned to make Galadriel innocent of the rebellion of the Noldor. | |
