Aragorn's decision not to seek power even when it's offered to him fits his humble and selfless ranger nature. Unlike many who might jump at the chance for authority, Aragorn focuses on his duty and the greater good rather than personal gain. In The Return of the King, when Gondor's people are eager to accept him as their leader, Aragorn is hesitant to claim the throne immediately. He prioritizes defeating Sauron and saving Middle-earth over securing his own position of power.
