Was Aragorn fleeing from the law? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think perhaps you are getting the film and the books mixed up sleeping beauty ( i don't blame you.) But aragorn never in the true saga, was frightened by or did he shun his destiny. He accepted who he was, and looked to the future; however he had patience, he knew his time would come, or perhaps it would not. Nowhere does he say anything even resembling his words in the films of : "i have turned from that path long ago..." etc.

There are other characters in Tolkien's works that also have many names, of course not as many as Strider, but many none the less. (why can't I think of the other names of the people I am thinking of? in the silmarillion i believe more than 3 names are sometimes given for a character) Like Turin!
