Some more wonderful observations by Fordhim! Eventhough Eowyn despises Grima, it's as if a "part" of Grima rubs off on her. That thought of "desiring." Saruman teaches Grima, then Eowyn (unconsciously) follows Grima, atleast at first. She desires Aragorn, (were they for the wrong reasons? I don't know yet.) and it's only until she meets Faramir when she finds "true" love.

Interesting connection, for Aragorn is indeed Gandalf's "pupil" as well, eventhough it doesn't come out to say it. Aragorn had spent a great deal of time around Gandalf, searching for Gollum, during the Fellowship, and it never comes out to say he's Gandalf's "pupil," but he admires Gandalf greatly. Faramir, isn't around Gandalf as much, but he still admires Gandalf, Denethor see's this and calls him the "wizard's pupil." Then Eowyn falls for both of Gandalf's pupils, it's interesting how this works.
