Aragorn King of Men

I think that Aragorn was perhaps based on the ideal man. He is long-lived and perseverant ( didn't he track Gollum across the dead marshes, not the nicest place in the world). He is self-controlled and humble. Despite his heritage he goes into 'exile'. He is senstive to others needs (Frodo and sam after moria, and Eowyn in her infatuation-yet still loyal to Arwen) and is courageous and self-sacrificing. He is knowledgable of the world and in the end, even through all the hardships he has undergone he still finds himself able to love. If everyone was more like him, the world would be a better place. Definitely the ideal guy!
