I think that is a good point to remember for the film.<P>In the book Arwen was always there waiting for Aragorn to emerge as King. Aragorn had no doubts about that and thus didn't have any leanings towards Eowyn, though he did love her and wished her happiness.<P>In the film, Aragorn thinks Arwen is leaving. Eowyn falls in love with Aragorn because of what he represents something, escape and honour. I think in the film, Aragorn may see Eowyn as a symbol as well. A symbol of a more simple relationship for him. Perhaps he he was wrong to think that he and Arwen could work. When I see him looking at Eowyn in the film, I see a desire for a simplier life, not so much a desire for her.<P>I think in the end though, PJ has to play this that Aragorn never does lose his love for Arwen and as such cannot allow himself to consider a relationship with Eowyn.<P>H.C.
