An addition of Peter Jackson to the world of Tolkien
Tauriel is one of the characters of the film trilogy The Hobbit”. She appears in the last two parts “The Desolation of Smaug” and “The Battle of the Five Armies”. Like Legolas, Tauriel is an elf and like him, she is not present in Tolkien’s novel, on which the movie is based. But unlike Legolas, who is an important character of “The Lord Of The Rings” in the books, Tauriel is an invention of Peter Jackson. Indeed, since women have a very small role in Tolkien’s books, at least as far as the action is concerned, Peter Jackson has always tried to flesh out the female roles and, in this case, to add some. Tauriel is a guard in the service of the king of the woodland elves. She crosses paths with Thorin when they try to cross the forest of Mirkwood and find themselves trapped by giant spiders. Although the dwarves are taken prisoner by the king, who has never trusted dwarves, Tauriel develops a certain affection for Kili. When they manage to escape, they are pursued by terrible orcs and Kili is wounded by a poisoned weapon that Tauriel knows is deadly. She decides to go in search of them to help them. Legolas, although jealous of the attention she gives to the dwarf, because he is in love with Tauriel, decides to come with her.
