I think i am content in the way that the book ended because, well as we all know Tolkien knows best (almost always). I myself am a huge Eowyn fan because, I'm not really so thrilled about Arwen getting everywhere on her looks, luck for being of royal elvish lineage, even tho she would give up her immortality for him. I do realize she is a respectable figure but just not for things that count to me. Of course its things that count in Aragorn's book that matter. <BR>I mean seriously, in the book there was just about nothing with her in it and i dislike how they portrayed her in the movies as a warrior as well as an elven maiden, just seems to take more away from Eowyn.<BR>I do also figure that it is important that it shows how dreams and perfect love situations dont always come true. There just would be less of a realistic feel about it all if Eowyn ended up with Aragorn. And it goes to show that we need to find our equals when it comes to love. Just as Aragorn and Arwen are of long royal lineage and can relate in that aspect, Eowyn and Faramir seem to be able to connect... Eowyn is somewhat pitied by aragorn and rejected as compared to arwen... Famamir is the younger brother to the heir, boromir, who is favored over him and he is downcast because of his love for 'wizards and such'... and well he appreciates eowyn for who she is. If aragorn cant see how great of a person she is, she deserves better.
