One of the main themes of Tolkien's work is the idea of the "gift of men," which is the ability to truly leave the world, which is impossible for an elf. How long an elf must wait in the Halls of Mandos (I guess in spiritual form only?) before reincarnation depends in large part on how virtuous they were in life. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:949068548] in Hobbit/LOT...
