Eowyn Kills the Witch King

Description: The Witch King, from Lord of the Rings, in the battle of pelennor fields. Witch King: "You fool. No man can kill me. Die now." Eowyn: "I am no man!" John Locke: "Whoa whoa whoa, time out. That's clearly not what he meant." Roland Barthes: "Wrong, Locke! He is merely quoting a prophecy, and any interpretation is equally valid. The author's original intent is irrelevant when analyzing a text." John Locke: "Language is a representation of the ideas of the speaker, and he obviously meant “no human can kill me.”" Locke: "Enough of your relativism, Barthes, you can't beat a prophesy with a pun!" Barthes: "Says who?" Locke: "The prophet!" Barthes: "Once a prophecy exists the prophet is only one of many interpreters!" Eowyn: "Enough! I don't care. I was just trying to say something badass before killing him." Description: Eowyn stabs the Witch King in the face, killing him. Barthes: "Is it just me, or was he a bit overconfident that no man could kill him when he can die from getting stabbed in the face?" Eowyn: "Yeah, i was a bit surprised that was all it took to be honest."
"I never expected someone would try to...stab me."
