Eowyn: Perbedaan antara revisi

<!-- Although she never carried the title of a princess, she was a niece to one King of Rohan and sister to another, as well as the wife of a Gondorian prince. Éowyn is described to be very beautiful; she was tall, slim, pale, and graceful, with golden hair. In temperament she was idealistic, spirited, brave, high-minded, and lonely.

In ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' Éowyn, Lady of Rohan, a daughter of the [[House of Eorl]] and the niece of King [[Théoden]] of [[Rohan]], is introduced in [[Meduseld]], the king's hall at [[Edoras]]. She was the daughter of [[Théodwyn]] (sister to Théoden) and [[Éomund]], and the sister of [[Éomer]]. When she was only three years old, her father Éomund was killed fighting Orcs on the marches and her mother died of grief. Along with her brother, Éowyn was then raised in her uncle King Théoden's household, and were treated as if they were his own children. It is hinted that she fell into a depression because, though her abilities and interest in warfare were at least the equal of her brother's, she was forcibly confined to the traditional feminine roles. This depression deepened when, in the years prior to the War of the Ring, Théoden's mind was poisoned by [[Gríma]] (Wormtongue) and Éowyn was forced to endure as Rohan failed around her. (To make matters worse, she was stalked by Gríma.) However, when Gandalf arrived he healed Théoden from Wormtongue's corruption, and Éowyn became infatuated with Aragorn. It soon became clear that Aragorn could not return her love (though he did not mention his betrothal to [[Arwen]]), and would not allow her to join his army. Éomer, while not blaming Aragorn, believed that unrequited love was at the root of her depression. Aragorn answered that she loved Éomer more truly than him, as her feeling for Aragorn was largely fantasy about the ''idea'' of Aragorn as a great leader and warrior representing the heroic life she could not have; and Gandalf pointed out the deeper roots of her depression in her life history.

Unwilling to remain behind she disguised herself as a male rider and with the collusion of Elfhelm she smuggled Meriadoc in the company of the King on the ride to Gondor. During the battle of the [[Pelennor Fields]], she fought by King Théoden; when he was injured by the [[Witch-king of Angmar]], Lord of the [[Nazgûl]], she and Merry scrambled to help him. When she confronted the Witch-king, he boasted that "no living man may hinder me," referring to the 1,000-year-old [[prophecy]] by the Elf-lord [[Glorfindel]], foretelling that the Witch-king would not "fall by the hand of man". Éowyn then removed her helmet, exposing her long blond hair and declared:

Éowyn was severely injured in this fight and believed to be dead until Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth realized she still lived. Because of the poisonous effect of the Black Breath of the Nazgûl and her hopeless love for Aragorn, she faced near-certain death and was brought up to the [[Houses of Healing]] together with Merry. However, she was treated in time by Aragorn, to whom she had earlier been strongly attracted. Since she was not yet completely recovered, she could not join Aragorn's army for the [[Battle of the Black Gate]]. However, while recuperating in the Houses of Healing, she met [[Faramir]], with whom she soon fell in love, understanding that her previous "love" for Aragorn was hero-worship rather than real love.

''Éowyn'' means "horse lover" or "friend of horses" in the [[Old English language]] (the language Tolkien used to represent [[Rohirric]]) - ''[[Ehwaz|Eoh]]-'' meaning "horse" (which Tolkien renders ''Éo-'') and ''-[[Wynn|wyn]]'' meaning "joy".
