Not many of the netters have ever really met her in person, so we are caught up in a fantasy about what Arwen is really like. The problem with fantasies is that we are disappointed when real life hits us. I am not saying that Lady Arwen is not pretty and intelligent, but she cannot live up to all our expectations in real life. Our fantasies are just that, fantasies. They are what we want to see and do, but they are also too unrealistic for life. Utopias have the same problem. The meaning of Utopia is "something unattainable". If it is unattainable then how do we expect to find it. Brian Keves. Not afraid to say I am afraid. UCSD sdccsu3!zz104bk PS- I really like Lady Arwen, and this article is not to be misconstrued. I enjoy my fantasies too. Without fantasies and Utopias we have nothing to live for, certainly not life.
