Silmaril

I agree that I thought that Aragorn felt attracted to Eowyn as almost any man probably was, for she was said to, as you quoted, be fair...cold, but fair. I thought that, being the noble, moral person that he was, he recognized that he loved Arwen more and, although there was physical attraction, his heart and soul belonged to Arwen.

I think that, by making it more noticeable in the movie, it may have the effect of making Aragorn seem more devoted to Arwen in that he was tempted by another, but stood strong, even though part of him was unsure.

The only part I was worried about was that I was afraid that Peter Jackson would have something actually happen between Aragorn and Eowyn, and that there would be a moral dilemma. If that was the case, I think the JRR Tolkien would inflict bodily harm to Peter Jackson from beyond the grave for messing with the story that much and would take care of that for us. I was also worried that they may have something to make the movie R-rated, which would mean I would not be able to go over and over and over without a parent chaperone.

I think that it was good that you put this in here, because everyone in here has read all of "The Lord of the Rings", whereas not everyone has read it in the Movies Section. You get a look at how fans of the book feel about it.
