I think that when Theoden says "he is an honourable man" it is because he thinks that Eowyn and Aragorn might marry, and he means that she does so with his blessing. When she says "they were both honourable men" I believe she speaks of her cousin, and she says this because she realizes what her uncle means and also realizes that Aragorn loves another. I think she is trying to mean that she is over Aragorn. She loves him, but knows that he loves another. In the midst of her heartbreak, she needs to put him behind her thus, "they WERE both honourable men".

If that makes any sense whatsoever.

She definately says "YOU are both honorable men"

Though, I think she really said "You WERE both honorable men" referring to how they both did in battle.

I agree with what's been said--when Theoden says "He is an honorable man" he is acknowledging Eowyn's attatchment to Aragorn and, not knowing any better, approving of her choice.

That scene has always confused me.

I always wondered what Eowyn had said before she handed Aragorn the goblet and whethe it was anything like "drink this and you'll marry me". :lol:

I think that it was probably a celebratory gesture that she would have given to her cousin or her brother, and I think Theoden saw her give it to Aragorn and saw no signs between them that there wasn't affection, and that's why he presumed he was Eowyn's chosen one. I think at that time, Eowyn believed she had a chance, as although she knew about Arwen, she also believed her to be gone by now, so over time, Aragorn would most likely come to love her.

Ohh Well....She odviously realized it when she held hands with Faramir though. That Aragorn wanted Arwen. And at least it was not a drama show about that. She just went on with life.....

She was never a character who made much a fuss about anything. That's how she was raised -- to be able to overcome anything that was thrown in her face, though I doubt she thought that that might be competing with (somewhat non-existant) Arwen for Aragorn's affections.
