<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>MUCH more believable than that pasty elf and his pet elephant. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Now why would he want to kill his pet elephant?! And he isn't pasty...<P>I was never able to understand Éowyn in the book. Her despair etc. was too strong for me- I found it off-putting. Miranda's portrayal has given me access to this wonderful character (now how cheesy does that sound?!), so I think she did a great job. Although now I understand the character, it would have been nice to have her in utter despair. But then I would never probably have understood the character at all...<P>And as for fearlessness v bravery...does bravery not imply fighting against fear? As opposed to fearlessness where the person has gone so far as to not feel any at all? If so, then how can bravery be an acceptable replacement for fearlessness. I do not think they are synonymous...but then they might be, what do you think?
