Éowyn

A sad, pensive theme (until its last appearance; see below) used to depict Éowyn's feelings of frustration and captivity.

Occurrences:

	Éowyn stands on the windy ledge at Meduseld.
	Théoden recovers, sees Éowyn as if for the first time. (I often wonder if Jackson, Walsh and Boyens consciously modeled this scene after Lear and Cordelia ("For, as I am a man, I think this lady / To be my child Cordelia"). Certainly there is nothing like it in the original Two Towers.)
	Théodred's funeral cortege. The theme is rendered so slowly and solemnly that it is easily missed.
	Aragorn and Éowyn, the sword scene: "What do you fear, my lady?"
	Aragorn tries Éowyn's stew. The theme here is a hesitant, slightly jerky version. A comic effect, to be sure, but also a suggestion that the domestic arts are another problem area for this warrior princess.
	Éowyn to Aragorn: "I'm to be sent with the women to the caves."
	Post-victory celebration at Meduseld; Éowyn greets Aragorn: "Westu Aragorn hal" [fragment].
	Éowyn asleep by the fire in the great hall, and her conversation with Aragorn.
	Aragorn's last conversation with Éowyn as he heads off to the Dimholt [variant].
	Éowyn slays the Witch-King. The theme is heard in a more assertive form, as this moment represents the fulfillment of her yearnings and the end of her frustration. (Thanks to Samuel Karth for pointing out this occurrence.)
