Morfydd Clark went on to detail why Galadriel is at her lowest point as the show begins: “That’s part of why she’s so miserable as well — she’s become quite individualistic because her pain is so huge. She’s not seeing the beauty of the world and the beauty of her people.”
Clark added that this unhealthy individualism (presumably influenced by her past experiences, especially the loss of her husband, Celeborn, and her brother Finrod) hasn’t just made Galadriel quiet or withdrawn. It’s changed her behavior and outlook on life. “She’s not herself,” Clark said. “… She’s not behaving as a creature of light in Middle-earth at that point.”

Of course, this isn’t where Galadriel ends up. Clark hinted at the coming positive transformation by connecting Galadriel’s journey to the far-off innocence of the Harfoots, explaining, “The world, Middle-earth, isn’t as it should be until it’s safe for everyone — even the smallest, the most vulnerable amongst them.” She added, “Realizing that she’s part of a fragile world — where things are breakable and beautiful — will ultimately be what will get her there.”
