Did you know that in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, the real reason behind the argument between Éomer and Gimli was actually Galadriel?
But in the book, the reason is far deeper: when Éomer speaks of Galadriel as a dangerous sorceress, Gimli is enraged and Legolas instantly draws an arrow to defend him. The conflict is about Galadriel’s honor, not a random clash of tempers. Aragorn steps in to prevent a fight.
Their disagreement actually isn’t resolved until Aragorn’s wedding in Minas Tirith. Seeing Galadriel for the first time, Éomer reminds Gimli of the harsh words he once spoke and says, “Fetch your axe, for I will not call her the fairest lady who lives.” Gimli replies, “Then I shall fetch my axe.” Éomer, glancing at Arwen, answers: “Had I seen her among others, I would have said what you desire. But now Queen Arwen stands first, and I am ready to defend that with my sword. Shall I have it brought?”
Gimli bows deeply: “No, lord, you are forgiven. You have chosen the Evening, but my love is for the Morning.”
