I'd agree with the idea that Arwen is some sort of epitome of femenine beauty and grace, while Eowyn is a bolder woman of action. That's not from the films - which, as you recall, depicted Arwen with a sword.<P>If your question had been which is better for Arwen, I would have to match Aragorn and Eowyn, but as far as Aragorn is concerned, Arwen is the better choice. The "blood of Numenor" and King of Gondor deserves no less than an immortal, especially one prepared to make such sacrifices for him. Can you picture Eowyn making the kind of compromises that Arwen did?
