| Ooh, a great scene with Grima and Eowyn. One can almost feel sorry for Grima, who loves Eowyn so much (but in the wrong way) that he destroys her. Eowyn here reminds me of the elves, who (in fanon at least) can flee their life when forced to do something awful against their will. I can just imagine how her conscious mind has retreated far, far away, so that whatever is happening to her is actually happening to someone else. I don't understand why Theoden is not suffering more. If he is addicted to the poison, and Grima has withheld it so that Theoden is now conscious, why is he not in agony? Author Reply: Re. Théoden: Well, the way I thought is that Gríma lied about the poison, as well (he lied about practically everything, so why not about the poison?). Perhaps the stuff doesn't even cause any withdrawal symptoms? What if the cause of those was an altogether different poison, to keep Gamling and Éowyn obedient? And now he wants Théoden to be clear, because he wants to show him his army tearing up Edoras. he wouldn't do anything to weaken him now. | |
