That's a good quote, Boromir88! This shows that even in Aragorn there is something not entirely 'good'. At the risk of applying my own opinions a little, it seems that there is something of the empire builder within Aragorn, something which I would see as an 'evil' action. This shows he clearly has the potential within himself to incorporate a kingdom such as Rohan within Gondor, due to his pride. Luckily, this potential is worked out of him.

It also backs up a point I made in another thread that Gandalf was crucial as an advisor to Aragorn, vital to his success.

Thus, this shows again that good and evil cannot always be clearly delineated in Middle Earth.
