Which characters out of the books do you wish had fallen in love?

Very interesting topic. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

No, Eowyn and Faramir were perfect for each other. Even though two may be suited for each other doesn't mean they love each other. Arwen was Aragorn's, Aragorn was Arwen's. They loved each other so much. For myself, I was thrilled when Eowyne fell in love with Faramir and I just love the part where they kiss in public (the movie better have that part in there...).

Ahh, my thoughts exactly. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I like what someone said earlier about Aragorn and Arwen's love being "written in the stars." It's destined, it's tragic, it's beautiful. Yes, Aragorn and Éowyn did have a lot in common, but we all know that she only loved him for what he represented - "and as a great captian may to a young soldier he seemed to you admirable." I can't imagine Éowyn being with anyone but Faramir. It's like... well, the way I see it, he helped to bring her out of the darkness, his compassion giving her more inner strength and stability, allowing her to realize that she could fall in love again and that she had fallen in love again, and this time it was real.

Not sure if that made sense, but hey, most of my opinions don't. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

As for Frodo... of course, he wouldn't have been nearly as tragic if he had fallen in love and gotten married. Or maybe he would have, if he still couldn't stay in Middle-earth despite that love, which would be even more heartbreaking, in my opinion. But I don't think he really needed to have a wife. After all, Bilbo was a bachelor, and he turned out just fine (more or less [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )!

As for Sam and Frodo in a romantic relationship... I just think Sam and Rosie make a cuter couple. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] And it's like what Rosa Underhill said on the previous page:

Eh, it never would've worked out between Sam and Frodo. As my friend so eloquently put it when we were talking about Sam's kids: "He must've been busy (to have that many kids) and it wasn't with Frodo!"

Hehe, that's what I keep telling everyone!
