Part 7/8:
Tolkien provides little information about Legolas's mother. In the cinematographic world, speculation suggests she may have been killed by the Witch-King, with Legolas lamenting the absence of her grave or memory. This adds a layer of melancholy to his character in the films, a stark contrast to the ambiguity found in the books where her fate is left unexplored.
As we wrap up our exploration of Legolas's character across different media, it's evident that both the films and the books offer unique interpretations that contribute to the rich tapestry of Tolkien’s Middle-earth. Legolas stands as a symbol of elven prowess, bridging the gap between compelling cinematic action and the carefully crafted lore of the original literature.
