I thought the relationship between Eowyn and Aragorn was handled well. I know Aragorn didn't express anything towards Eowyn in the book but it worked well with the change in his character of having him unsure about whether to ask Arwen to give up his mortality. There wasn't a hint of this in the book, but I think it did a lot to humanize his character. Anyone who truly loved someone would have reservations about watching them give up what she is giving up.<P>As for the letters from Tolkien, I highly doubt PJ has even read the one to which you are referring. I suspect Tolkien knew a lot about romantic literature and myth and very little about making movies. I doubt he would have approved of any movie script that made the changes that were necessary.<P>H.C.
