In the books Hama wants Éowyn to stay as 'queen' in Edoras while all others ride to Helm's Deep. In the movie Theoden wants Éowyn to stay in Edoras while all others ride to Minas Tirith.

I've always got my books with me, so I easily can quote anything! :P

Theoden first thought that Hama meant Éomer to stay back and was completely confused when it turned out that he meant Éowyn! :P

I remember that. They said: "We want a ruler from the house of Eorl." Theoden then replies: "But me and Eomer are going off to battle! Who could you possibly be referring to?" And everyone else says: Eowyn, duh!!

I think everyone really loved her and Eomer as their own kin. They were from a respected line and were trusted. As Merry says in RotK: "There are many who love you [Eowyn]." However, none of them really knew her, and what was mistaken for love was more than often truly pity. :confused:

yeah, you're right.
I really like the scene when they arrive at Helm's Deep (as I've said before :P) cause it shows the people's love for Eowyn. The one with the old lady, you know...

*nods*

One of the cool things I found about Eowyn is that her family will be high up in line to inherit the throne if anything would happen to the rulers of either country. She is the brother of the King of Rohan; Faramir is the Steward of Gondor. :) It shows they were both loved by both kingdoms...coolness.

I never thought about that :)
If Eomer hadn't married, she'd have two places she could end up ruling over:P

Well, Eomwr would have ruled, but Eowyn's children would be the heirs.
However, I think she ended up very happy with her life in Ithilien. "I no longer desire to be a queen." :) :) :)

^Yes they did. All Tolkein mentioned was their firstborn Son, whose name escapes me, but I imagine they had more children after that.
