Which do I like better, Arwen or Eowyn? Well....I know that immediately, but I can see why it would be hard choice.
I think I like Eowyn better because she is easier to identify with. I have experienced unrequited love a lot, but never eternal life....lol. Eowyn goes through very human reactions to her circumstances and yet still shows bravery and loyalty. She was forced to watch her father figure almost waste away and yet she never left until he was better. She had to endure not having what she felt to be the love of her life. You feel her bravery, but when she runs away to the army, hoping for death, you still feel sympathy for her. Who's to say that in her situation, we wouldn't do the same? Arwen seems to unattainable and sometimes I get the feeling that, although she was brave and loyal, it just seems easier for Elves to be like that. This is probably just a silly feeling, but that is how I feel! That I would rather marry Faramir than Aragorn. :P Jennifer |

The pic (avatar) you can get by going into "user cp" and fiddling around (don't know exactly, haven't done it myself); the title you must earn.

You earn it by getting 50 posts for Enting, 100 for Elven Warrior, and 500 for Elf Lord.
I think in the book, Arwen is not as interesting as Eowyn, because she never really did anything. She sort of disappeared for TTT, and then reappered and we all said "HUH? Who's SHE?"

Elf Girl, I agree with you that Eowyn is more interesting but I still rather Arwen because she's more.... more.... elf. |

Just to reply to the above post by Radagast, you don't become a moderator when you hit 60000 posts, we changed the Entmoot's staff's post count to stop spamming.
It's typical now for males to like Elves BeardOfPants? |

What?!?!?!? You hate Eowyn? Why? (is this, what, the first thread where we have disagreed on something?)
Why don't you like Eowyn? And who says she isn't stunningly beautiful? She is, it says so! Just not elven beauty. She's one of the few instances where I like a human better than an elf.

It was kind of creepy the way Eowyn took one look at Aragorn and thought he was her "ticket out of here". Arwen did sew the banner, heehee!

That is a good point, Lizra. I tend not to look beyond how I can identify with her unrequited love problems, rather than looking at the source/reasons for her love of Aragorn. But, I can also see why she was so desperate to get out of there. She was stuck taking care of her aging uncle, who she cared deeply for, but it was not really her kind of thing. The nasty, vile wormtongue had his eyes on her...another thing I can sort of identify with (only barely, thank Eru)...another reason to want to get out of there as fast as she could. I mean, there are flaws in her reasoning, but you have to see where she's coming from, right?

I suppose you're right Eruviel, It was just embarassing the way she imposed on Aragorn, a complete stranger. Poor thing, did she need some prozac? I love the way she finally fell in love the correct way and started smiling and growing plants, yea!

heh. prozac. Yeah, it is kinda embarrasing, with Aragorn, you're right. But I also like her in her desperate warrior-mode. When she rides out with the Riders of Rohan and slays the Nazgul. And when she grows plants. I think she's a great character.

Well, you certainly can't knock slaying a Nazgul! Horray for Eowyn!

Aye, hooray for Eowyn!!! I didn't think they gave her enough credit, either.

It's just a matter of style. Girls in general are nicer than guys, and elves ae in general nicer than humans, therefore I'll almost always choose elves over humans, especially female ones. It's just that I prefer nice people to mean/hard people. Eowyn has been through a lot and hardened herself to the world so I wouldn't like her. No offense to you Eowyn lovers
