Bard & The Master Vs Aragorn & the House of Stewards

[Bywaters]

I found Formendacil's redaction (is that the right word?) of the quote to be fascinating; shows how Tolkien's themes run across his works.

I've only read LotR and the Hobbit so cannot comment so broadly on how Tolkien's themes run through his work (it's only a matter of time!) but I see examples of this.

It seems that characters who fight on the side of good will end up being rewarded one way or the other. Like Aragorn being returned to the throne of Gondor and the Bard have Dale back to rebuild. Also, I suppose the same can be said for Boromir as he is granted forgiveness for what he did and his name will remain honourable.
