Shelob originally featured in the second book, The Two Towers, but she was moved to the third movie due to narrative difficulties and time constraints. Gollum hopes that by luring Frodo and Sam unknowingly into Shelob's lair, the spider will kill both Hobbits for him, and he can retrieve the Ring. While relapsing into his murderous delusional state again, he ponders a way to get rid of Frodo and Sam, and mentions that he could let "her" do it. Gollum/Sméagol is, at that point, furious over Frodo's apparent "betrayal", not wanting to believe that Frodo actually saved him by handing him over into Faramir's custody. He is referring to Shelob, the gigantic spider that features heavily in LotR: Return of the King. Once he knew Éowyn realized he could never return her love, he was more at ease to express himself and how he felt for her, and the words he spoke to Éomer were to help him understand just why his sister would have ridden out with the Company as Dernhelm in what seemed to be the Last Ride of The Rohirrim. The love Éomer felt was as a brother, Aragorn's was that of a ruler for a subject, also a friend, yet no less feeling.
They were words spoken between two people who loved her, not bitter hateful words from a twisted chamberlain. Who knows what you've spoken to the darkness in the bitter watches of the night when all your world seems to shrink? The walls of your bower closing in about you, a hutch to trammel some wild thing in? Tolkien actually attributed those words to Aragorn as he spoke with Éomer, while Éowyn lay unconscious, newly brought from the field of battle into The Houses of Healing. She exclaims, "Leave me alone, snake", and he replies, But you are alone. One notable example occurs when Éowyn ( Miranda Otto) has found the King's son dead and has been followed by Gríma ( Brad Dourif) to the Prince's room.
