But, he writes, Elrond is a caring father with no trace of cruelty. The demand that Arwen "shall not be the bride of any Man less than the King of both Gondor and Arnor" is in his view just "giving his foster son incentive to achieve what it is his hereditary duty to attempt anyway", as well as doing the best for his daughter: "Elrond loves them both".<sup id="cite_ref-West_2011_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-West_2011-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Humanities" title="Humanities">humanities</a> scholar <a href="/wiki/Brian_Rosebury" class="mw-redirect" title="Brian Rosebury">Brian Rosebury</a> writes that Tolkien contrasts Elrond's paternal love for Arwen with the distant, painful relationship of <a href="/wiki/Denethor" title="Denethor">Denethor</a>, the despairing and ultimately suicidal <a href="/wiki/Steward_of_Gondor" class="mw-redirect" title="Steward of Gondor">Steward of Gondor</a>, and his son <a href="/wiki/Faramir" title="Faramir">Faramir</a>.

Nelson, writing in <i><a href="/wiki/Journal_of_the_Fantastic_in_the_Arts" class="mw-redirect" title="Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts">Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts</a></i>, describes Elrond as a guide or wisdom figure, a wise person able to provide useful counsel to the protagonists. He is seen in <i>The Hobbit</i> as one with knowledge of the ancient runes and the ability to read moon letters, as well as giving advice on the best route. In <i>The Lord of the Rings</i>, he is seen to have extensive knowledge of the history of Middle-earth, including of the One Ring, and provides wise assistance on planning the necessary action to destroy the Ring. That said, he also shows that he knows the limits of his knowledge, as the capabilities of Hobbits, in his words "the Shire-folk", are outside his experience. Such, Nelson concludes, is the function of a guide, and Elrond fulfils it "admirably" and to the best of his ability, just as in their different ways do Aragorn, Galadriel, <a href="/wiki/Faramir" title="Faramir">Faramir</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Tom_Bombadil" title="Tom Bombadil">Tom Bombadil</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Nelson_2002_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Nelson_2002-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Christine Larsen, in the <i><a href="/wiki/Journal_of_Tolkien_Research" class="mw-redirect" title="Journal of Tolkien Research">Journal of Tolkien Research</a></i>, analysed why Tolkien wrote "Master" Elrond, only once calling him "Lord of Rivendell" and never writing "Lord Elrond", in contrast for instance to "Lady Galadriel", "Lord <a href="/wiki/Celeborn" class="mw-redirect" title="Celeborn">Celeborn</a>", and "the Elven-king Gil-galad". She notes that Elrond is certainly important, being "the thread that ties together all three of the great tales of the legendarium: <i><a href="/wiki/Beren_and_L%C3%BAthien" title="Beren and Lúthien">Beren and Lúthien</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Fall_of_Gondolin" title="The Fall of Gondolin">The Fall of Gondolin</a></i>, and <i><a href="/wiki/The_Children_of_H%C3%BArin" title="The Children of Húrin">The Children of Húrin</a></i>." She notes too that the usage was clearly intentional, and that Tolkien was "excruciating[ly]" careful on such matters. She notes that he called <a href="/wiki/Tom_Bombadil" title="Tom Bombadil">Tom Bombadil</a> "Master of wood, water, and hill", but denied that the term implied ownership. Further, "master" is used as a term of respect, as by <a href="/wiki/Barliman_Butterbur" class="mw-redirect" title="Barliman Butterbur">Barliman Butterbur</a> to the hobbits in Bree. Finally, she writes, mastery implies the skill of an authority or revered artist: the <a href="/wiki/Dwarf_(Middle-earth)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dwarf (Middle-earth)">Dwarves</a> are described as "masters of stone", as the <a href="/wiki/Rohirrim" class="mw-redirect" title="Rohirrim">Rohirrim</a> are "masters of horses" and the Wizard <a href="/wiki/Radagast" title="Radagast">Radagast</a> is a "master of shapes and changes of hue". Applied to Elrond, he is a "master of healing", but more centrally he is the "greatest of lore-masters", a master of ancient wisdom and knowledge. She notes that among the Elves, the lore-masters were the Noldor: indeed that was the meaning of their name.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Style_of_speech">Style of speech</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Elrond&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Style of speech"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1224211176"><div class="quotebox pullquote floatright" style="width:30%; ;"> <blockquote class="quotebox-quote left-aligned" style=""> <p>'Alas, no', said Elrond.

The very desire of it corrupts the heart. Consider Saruman. If any of the Wise should wield this Ring to overthrow the Lord of Mordor, using his own arts, he would set himself on Sauron's throne, and yet another Dark Lord would appear. And that is another reason why the Ring should be destroyed: as long as it is in the world it will be a danger even to the Wise. For nothing is evil in the beginning. Even Sauron was not so.

Elrond, he writes, uses archaic conjunctions like "save" (meaning "except"), and literary phrases like "to wield at will", along with old-fashioned inversions of word order, like "That we now know too well". He notes however that Elrond uses simple short sentences, like "We cannot use the Ruling Ring."<sup id="cite_ref-Kullmann_2009_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Kullmann_2009-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Tolkien scholar <a href="/wiki/Tom_Shippey" title="Tom Shippey">Tom Shippey</a> writes that Tolkien, professionally interested in words and language, reveals character through styles of speech. Elrond is seen to use an archaic but clear style in the Council of Elrond. Shippey states that his use of grammatical inversions is now rare, but still colloquial, as in common phrases like "Down came the rain. Up went the umbrellas." He writes that the old rule was that the verb had to come second in the sentence, so if something other than a noun phrase began a sentence, then the noun had to go after the verb. In this way, Shippey writes, Tolkien gives Elrond a consistently archaic style, using not just old words "(the first resort of the amateur medievalist)" but more importantly through grammar. The effect is to make his speech distinctive, suiting his immense age, while remaining clear, and never merely quaint. Importantly, his way of speaking links him with Isildur, who becomes a key figure later in the chapter.<sup id="cite_ref-Shippey_2001_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Shippey_2001-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Adaptations">Adaptations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Elrond&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Adaptations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Elrond78.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4a/Elrond78.jpg/220px-Elrond78.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="123" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4a/Elrond78.jpg/330px-Elrond78.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4a/Elrond78.jpg 2x" data-file-width="421" data-file-height="236" /></a><figcaption>Elrond in <a href="/wiki/Ralph_Bakshi" title="Ralph Bakshi">Ralph Bakshi</a>'s animated version of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_(1978_film)" title="The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)">The Lord of the Rings</a></i></figcaption></figure> <p><a href="/wiki/Cyril_Ritchard" title="Cyril Ritchard">Cyril Ritchard</a> voiced Elrond in the 1977 <a href="/wiki/Rankin/Bass" class="mw-redirect" title="Rankin/Bass">Rankin/Bass</a> animated film adaptation of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Hobbit_(1977_film)" title="The Hobbit (1977 film)">The Hobbit</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In <a href="/wiki/Ralph_Bakshi" title="Ralph Bakshi">Ralph Bakshi</a>'s <a href="/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_(1978_film)" title="The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)">1978 animated adaptation</a> of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings" title="The Lord of the Rings">The Lord of the Rings</a></i>, Elrond was voiced by <a href="/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Morell" title="André Morell">André Morell</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Beck2005_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Beck2005-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> When Rankin/Bass attempted to finish the story (left incomplete by Bakshi and his financial backers) with <i><a href="/wiki/The_Return_of_the_King_(1980_film)" title="The Return of the King (1980 film)">The Return of the King</a></i> in 1980, actor <a href="/wiki/Paul_Frees" title="Paul Frees">Paul Frees</a> voiced Elrond, Ritchard having died shortly after voicing the character in the previous film.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Carl Hague portrayed Elrond in <a href="/wiki/National_Public_Radio" class="mw-redirect" title="National Public Radio">National Public Radio</a>'s 1979 radio production of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_(1979_radio_series)" title="The Lord of the Rings (1979 radio series)">The Lord of the Rings</a></i>.
