Re: What are the differences?

[(Anonymous)]

It's been a while since I've read them, so I think others will be able to be more in depth, but a difference that immediately comes to mind for me is that Aragorn is a lot more willing to take the piss in the books. There's one scene in particular I'm thinking of, where there's this jackass physician in Gondor, and Aragorn is so, so sarcastic with him, and it's great.

Aragorn is darkly sarcastic and witty from the very start, given his wry chiding of Frodo in the Prancing Pony. He's also competent and has zero doubts about his role in this entire process. He's the Big Damn Hero we need, not the relatable human man Jackson thought we wanted.

I don't agree with that at all. Book Aragorn absolutely has doubts, after Gandalf "dies," and then after Boromir really does. He isn't sure what to do, or what to path to take, and at one point outright says that he's failed and the trust in him was misplaced.

I’m not into Lord of the Rings, but this post discusses Aragorn having a PTSD flashback: https://unnamedelement.tumblr.com/post/643866541679575040/starwrought-i-just-love-so-much-that-one-of-the/ That seems pretty human.

In that moment, yes. But like anons below said, he was all about his mission and destiny from the start so that when he did have problems shouldering the burden, it was a natural contrast. It's classical epic hero framing: he's here for the quest with his whole heart, he has a brief weakness, he overcomes it and proves he is in fact the epic hero he claimed to be at the beginning.
