Surely, the suggestion that Eowyn deserted her duty should be taken in the context of the apocalyptic nature of the war ....... Eowyn is perhaps the most realistic - or pessimistic about the outcome of the war ..... if she had any real hope that there would be a need for a ruler after the war maybe she would not have gone - but she is "waiting for the stroke of doom" .... anyway I think Eowyn is one of the most interesting and complex characters in the whole cannon ...and I really never quite understood Aragorn prefering Arwen...... who seemed relatively dull.....
