distortions of her character and position
''Please'' move this article to [[Éowyn]] - the E is acute. Thank you. --[[User:RingWraith|RingWraith]] 18:35, 9 December 2007 (EST)
This article exalts Eowyn, then demeans her. What's the point of that?
Was she really made Queen over Rohan, or was her "leadership" more of a limited responsibility and authority to ensure their safety? I don't recall reading that "if Theoden falls in battle", she will succeed him. But correct me if I'm wrong; I only read the book 8 times.
Saying that she forsook her duties also seems wrong. Wasn't her decision to put on man's garb and ride into battle winked at and accepted willingly by the soldiers of Rohan? And wasn't her presence in the ensuing battle the key turning point of the war, when she ("no man born of woman") dismayed and unseated the leader of the nine RingWraiths?
I suspect whoever wrote this version of the article is trying to score ideological points. I recommend a longer block (or a ban), unless they change their tune. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 09:53, 23 August 2008 (EDT)
