If so, so also were the other guardians of the Three, especially Elrond. In the 'Mirror of Galadriel', 1381, it appears that GaladrielĬonceived of herself as capable of wielding the Ring and supplanting He said she will defeat him but not as in the way that destruction of the Ring defeated him. Tolkien said no such thing in his letter. She told us roughly what might happen but I'd like more details, what might have happened if she didn't pass that test? “I will diminish, and go into the West and remain Galadriel.”
Then she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and lo! she was shrunken: a slender elf-woman, clad in simple white, whose gentle voice was soft and sad. She stood before Frodo seeming now tall beyond measurement, and beautiful beyond enduring, terrible and worshipful. She lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore there issued a great light that illuminated her alone and left all else dark. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. There are other Tolkien-themed subreddits out there!
