To be fair, it's been a while since I read the book, but I disagree with this interpretation and that the movies didn't do a good job of showing her complexity. You want it to be MORE about her feeling sad, at least partly because the guy she had a crush on didn't like her back? As I recall, and as the movie showed, it was far more about grief and years of crippling loneliness, isolation and fear, about wanting to be proactive and protect her people, about ultimately realizing that there were more ways to do that than the so-called glory of dying in battle and, bonus, that there were better, truer loves for her than the first reasonably attractive guy she met.

This, so hardcore.

I love Eowyn as a character and I've probably read her plotlines probably 50,000 times at this point, but the movie did a pretty good job.

I legit thought the OP had missed a word because the book is pretty explicit that Eowyn was never actually in love with Aragorn, that Eowyn was focused on escaping her misery and her "cage" and the only way out she could see was Aragorn, so she loved him...
