Authors making literary choices about their characters that add an edge that could be hard for the audience to sit with is, in fact, a good thing
#and it’s not even that hard because Eowyn never really suffers for the choices she made in the sense that: Edoras is fine#Sauron’s forces from the eastern front are stopped before they hit Rohan#but it could have gone very differently then she would have to be like: glad I had glory on Pelenore but all my people were#massacred and are dead and my home city which is also the capital of our country is sacked#it could have been different!!#we read her actions from knowing the outcome of the books#but the characters in the books don’t know this is going to be the outcome!#writing#lit#drives me nuts#let! Eowyn! have! flaws!#Eowyn#lotr#lord of the rings#I honestly hope she got flack for it#eomer: I'm glad you’re alive and healthy and beat the witch king#Eomer: but never leave a capital city undefended ever again because you’re feeling sad about missing out on the war
