I hate to come off as a nymphomaniac, but... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

(Bill, I know how you feel)

I agree that it was a crush in that she did not know Aragorn and was reacting merely on the fact that he had power. I mean, why does anyone have a crush on a world leader? Most world leaders are not attractive, but they give off a feeling of power that some women find attractive. Eowyn, knowing that Aragorn was the future king, felt an air of authority coming from him, which made her lust after his power. I mean, think honestly, how many of you can truthfully proclaim that, even now (for those of you that are at least, oh, say 25: good age to use) you do not every now and then think that it would be nice to somehow obtain a little more power?

And, since Aragorn was a good man, that made it even harder for Eowyn to resist him.
