Eowyn is my favorite character in the LOTR series, and I couldn’t believe the ending either. “Oh, sorry I showed some spark of individuality- let me be your lady, Faramir!” was BS. :) excellent response.
Wow, hadn’t really thought of it that way. I just chalked it up to ‘action hero gets guy/girl’ sort of equality. Hey, it’s not like Faramir wasn’t a decent catch, right. Okay, so he was a bit of a sickly little wuss, but he’s royalty. It’s sort of a reverse of the brave knight getting the princess. Maybe? Or, sigh, Tolkien wanted to end with a happy wedding, and they were convenient characters. LoA
