Hope-lessly in love

[stone of vision]

Is Eowyn really in love with Aragorn? and hope lessly in love?
-I agree with Elenna, Guinevere and Charly: Eowyn seeks to be someone else, and Aragorn seems to be the example she has chosen to follow.
She is impressed by him, whorships him, and has a blind -admiring amazement for the man, the heroe, the warrior, and the king representation, Aragorn is.
I have more the feeling she is willing to identify herself to Aragorn as if Aragorn was an ideals.
Her condtion as a woman and her cast in those time, won't never allowed it though.
Not beeing able to "be Aragorn", she may desire to be considered and "loved" by the man the she esteems the most.
But what she thinks it is love, might it not be confused with deep admiration?
Until she understands her owns turmoils and her right feelings, she would be miserable and hopeless.
Her misery touches me a lot as she is a valiant and beautiful personality.

The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.
