There is simply no way that you could make three 3 hour films (or even one 2 hour film) for an audience today without having any more than one "active" female character. <P>So, given that at least one of the female character's roles had to be extended to give her a greater involvement in the action, I think that Arwen was really the only choice, particularly given her realtionship with Aragorn and his central role in the film.
