I dont think we can compare Arwen and Trinity because, I think, Trinity has a bigger and more active role. In the books, we hear about Arwen a couple of times and only in peaceful ones... <P>And in the movie, well, all the fighting is reserved for men. Trintiy has a more active role... Since she is one of the few ones that can truly fight against the Matrix...<P>But even in that arena, Trinity was killed by an agent and got her *** kicked several times when facing one. On the other hand, in the movie, when Arwen faces 8 of the 9 nazgul, she kicks their asses (considering the Nazgul as agents-alike).<P>Both characters are really great, with all their complexities...<P>But I have to correct you in one thing. Arwen does give her life up for Aragorn by becoming human! <P>And, in the movie, she gives Aragorn encouragement when he needs it most (for example, after the warg battle, when he is in the river, and Arwen "resurrects" him from afar), and when she encourages him to face his destiny, reassuring him that he will win where Isildur failed...
