Então, acabei de terminar O Silmarillion, e claro O Hobbit e LotR antes disso. Uma das razões pelas quais eu queria ler Silmarillion é porque não entendi direito a parte do discurso de Galadriel na fonte em Lothlorien. Fiquei on-line e vi uma explicação sobre qual dos mais versados foi a dada por ninguém menos que o próprio Tolkien em uma carta:
The attempt of Eärendil to cross Ëar was against the Ban of the Valar prohibiting all Men to attempt to set foot on Aman, and against the later special ban prohibiting the Exiled Elves, followers of the rebellious Fëanor, from return: referred to in Galadriel's lament. The Valar listened to the pleading of Eärendil on behalf of Elves and Men (both his kin), and sent a great host to their aid. Morgoth was overthrown and extruded from the World (the physical universe). The Exiles were allowed to return — save for a few chief actors in the rebellion of whom at the time of the L. R. only Galadriel remained.
[Footnote:] At the time of her lament in Lórien she believed this to be perennial, as long as Earth endured. Hence she concludes her lament with a wish or prayer that Frodo may as a special grace be granted a purgatorial (but not penal) sojourn in Eressea, the Solitary Isle in sight of Aman, though for her the way is closed. (The Land of Aman after the downfall of Númenor, was no longer in physical existence 'within the circles of the world'.) Her prayer was granted – but also her personal ban was lifted, in reward for her services against Sauron, and above all for her rejection of the temptation to take the Ring when offered to her. So at the end we see her taking ship.
Enfim, então eu li o Silmarillion e ele só tinha o seguinte.
Yet not all the Eldalië were willing to forsake the Hither Lands where they had long suffered and long dwelt; and some lingered many an age in Middle-earth. Among those were Círdan the Shipwright, and Celeborn of Doriath, with Galadriel his wife, who alone remained of those who led the Noldor to exile in Beleriand.
Portanto, não há texto sobre uma proibição extra de Galadriel. Agora, revisitei esses sites de perguntas e respostas e essa teoria era de Contos Inacabados e não de O Silmarillion.
Portanto, alguém pode explicar a explicação canônica de cada um dos livros. Como explicar quais seriam os motivos se os outros livros não fossem publicados. Como seria a explicação se tivéssemos apenas o SdA, e não Silmarillion e Contos Inacabados; e então qual seria a explicação se tivéssemos o SdA e o Silmarillion, mas não os Contos Inacabados e nem as cartas, etc.
