Why do most of the characters on The Lord of the Rings have blue eyes?

Answer #1

Because people with blue eyes (eg. ME!) are awesome. And do they really? Like in the movies or the books? I dont recall it being specifically mentioned in the books

Answer #2

Hmm, this never really occurred to me actually. Nice question. I believe the girl who played Arwen was wearing blue contact lenses too. Maybe because a lot of the references were based off of Norse mythology, and generally blue eyes fit in with that?

Answer #3

Liv Tyler? She has blue eyes naturally… that’s pretty cool though. I never noticed that!

Answer #4

Oh, I thought someone said she was wearing blue contact lenses once. I don’t really know who she is outside of the movie XD

Answer #5

blue eye people are cute… thats why i bought blue contacts to wear at time when i’m with the ladies..

Answer #6

The Tolkien’s description of elves were “grey or blue-eyed”…so, naturally, they would have light coloured eyes to fit that.

Answer #7

I second the Norse mythology reasoning. With the elves.
