Morfydd Clark, the actress portraying Galadriel in "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power," has provided a detailed explanation for her character's perceived arrogance, a topic that has sparked discussions among fans of the series.
Galadriel, the elven character, holds a special place in the hearts of fans within the rich fantasy universe of J.R.R. Tolkien. The character was previously masterfully portrayed by Cate Blanchett in Peter Jackson's cinematic trilogies.
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Morfydd Clark shed light on the origins of Galadriel's perceived arrogance, a quality that has piqued the interest of some fans.
The actress emphasized the importance of viewers recognizing this arrogance and anticipates that it will play a vital role in the character's development throughout the series.
"I think it's good that people have identified that she is not acting well. Humility is going to be a big part of her narrative arc in 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.' Galadriel is learning the limits of herself. The elves, they have a certain arrogance because, in some ways, they are superior to others. But in the end, they have to gain some perspective. I focused on seeing what mistakes even the wisest people in the world could make," Clark explained.
As the Amazon Prime Video series unfolds, Galadriel is depicted as already several centuries old. However, she is still relatively young when considering the character's full narrative arc. During this time, she is not yet as wise and composed as the Galadriel fans have come to know.
In fact, her temper remains something she struggles to control. This demonstrates that her character is still on a journey of growth before she becomes the elegant and graceful elf of the Third Age. Galadriel's initial arrogance is expected to diminish as she learns from her mistakes and matures over the course of the series.
