when a character is written to criticize another

There is a certain line in movie Aragorn that Tolkien, as a Catholic, would never have approved of.
"The same blood flows in my veins. The same weakness..."
Apart from making Aragorn so much the opposite of Tolkien who was NOT plagued with self doubt or willing to burden a wife or wife to be with it, it also involves a philosophy of biological determinism which was all that Chesterton hated about Norse Paganism ... as it was being revived in the 1920's and 30's in places.
