This is a supplemental essay to my Tauriel’s Characterization essay, which goes over all three of our beloved elves’ characterizations and arcs in the The Hobbit films. You need to have read that essay for this one to make sense. Here I am going over the visuals in the films (like clothing and weapons), as well as expanding on elements from the films. I own none of the quotes or pictures included in this essay.
Also relevant to this supplemental essay is my Legolas’s Family History essay, which goes over all of Tolkien’s different texts relating to Thranduil and Legolas; and my Height Differences in The Hobbit post, which clarifies and compares the heights of many different characters (including Thranduil, Legolas, and Tauriel).
This supplemental essay is an expansion and slightly more formal version of a post I made on tumblr, about my favorite family in Tolkien.
