Probably the gentlest break-up of an unrequited love affair in history. Poor Eówyn... good thing Faramir is waiting, even though neither of them know it yet!
Considering Arwen wasn't even a blip on the radar when the Prof was working on this, yeah, nice breakup. "...but a shadow and a thought" is a very good line though and golly, she really didn't love him so much as be in love with the *idea* of loving him. She's so young! I think she did better with the steward though, gained a princessdom (LOL) and could happily raise children and horses, forgetting all about death and war.
When I was reading the books, I was actually hoping for a breakup because I was so into Aragorn myself. But for some reasons I don't mind Arwen at all and devoured their love story in the appendices, wishing for more!!
