Queer Readings: Eowyn & Faramir Part 1 – Eowyn
The Queer Lodgings team makes our triumphant Pride Month return after a break with our long-threatened series on Eowyn & Faramir! Well… it wasn’t actually planned to be a series… but we recorded for 4 hours total, so decided to break it up into three parts. The first part frames the discussion and jumps into Eowyn’s complex gender identity and presentations, including both trans and non-binary readings of her character. Plus the intricacies of how Eowyn relates to the patriarchal society of the Riddermark and its expected gender roles. Stay tuned for Part 2 on Faramir, and Part 3 on the queer aspects of their relationship!
