The completion of Eowyn's story is slightly different, but similar in spirit.

伊奥温的结局稍有不同，但思想相似。

When we meet Eowyn, she too is trapped by fear, but unlike Theoden, it is not death that scares her.

伊奥温出场时，也正困于恐惧，但与希奥顿不同，她怕的不是死。

But before we continue his character arc I think it's useful to consider that of Eowyn, who perhaps best exemplifies Tolkien's sanctification of the pagans' noble virtues.

讨论他的角色弧线前，我认为值得先思考伊奥温的弧线，她也许最能体现托尔金对异教美德的圣化。

It does suggest that Tolkien was making a point that transcends gender, especially considering that Faramir and Eowyn go on to live a life that is not unlike his dearest characters.

这暗示着托尔金在表达一个无关性别的观点，特别是法拉米尔和伊奥温之后的生活跟他着墨最多的角色并不一样。
