I hans dikting vert dei rekna som jamningar med menneska, og «guds born», skapte som «dei førstfødde». Dei var meint å dra seg attende når menneska tok over («manneveldet»). Soleis er alvane gode skapnader, og menneska som ikkje liter på dei, er ikkje så tiltruande, syner det seg. </p><p>Alvane kallar seg sjølve <i>Quendi</i>, «dei som talar», og vert framstilte som <a href="/wiki/Kultur" title="Kultur">kulturskapnader</a> snarare enn naturvette.

Soga om henne vert kalla «løysing frå band», og Tolkien seier at han trur alvane fortel soger om å sleppe frå daudløysa, slik menneska fortel soger om å sleppe frå dauden. </p><p>Elles er alvane hjå Tolkien skildra som høgvaksne, lysleitte og vise, fagrare enn menneska, og ofte med eit lysskimmer kringom seg.
