Really just a footnote to the many excellent posts made already - I would just say that, while I think Gimli was profoundly affected by Galadriel's understanding and intercession for him when they first met, which I think inspired that fiercely protective dwarf loyalty which was in part to escalate the confrontation with Eomer. I think Gimli had a very strong response to beauty which can be seen in his reaction to Aglarond - and his very spirited defence of it when Legolas makes his flippant response to his remarks. That exchange reminds me a bit of the ones with Eomer.
