In the movies, Aragorn's character is changed subtely but significantly. In the book, he knows the path he must take and follows it, although perhaps a bit reluctantly. In the movies, however, he denies this path and says that he does not want the fate of taking the kingship of Gondor and leading Middle Earth to a victory over Sauron. Book Aragorn seemed more aware of his noble purpose and destiny, although he was still very conflicted...
