denethor

My mother does. I fear that it might develop into something more... sinister.

There actually is quite a parallel, and the two times may well have been close to each other too, though, admittedly, Denethor lost Boromir and seemed likely to lose Faramir, as well as himself in the battle, but, otherwise, things looked the same, or, indeed, probably BLEAKER for Sam, as if he...

It doesn't mean he can't try and go for Rohan too, in fact, if he had his own realm of Isengard, the realm of Rohan, and the realm of Gondor on his side, even without the One Ring, he could at least keep Sauron busy long enough to try and take it from the Fellowship. (Truthfully, that was a BIG...

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us There are a lot of decisions in The Lord of the Rings. Gandalf and Galadriel choose not to take the Ring, Saruman decides to throw his lot in with Sauron, Frodo decides to take the Ring to Mordor even though he doesn't know...

Denethor II - Tolkien vs Jackson As there are extreme differences between how Peter Jackson portrayed Denethor II in his films vs how he was described in Tolkien's book. Many may only know the movie depiction of him as a hateful father, terrible ruler, and a disgusting slob. He wasn't anything...

Route 1: From Faramir I believe, though I could be wrong, that Faramir arrived just in time for the battle and didn't really have time to tell his father about the conversation with Frodo and about the Ring. But what if Faramir had somehow arrived a lot sooner (I don't know how he could have...

Denethor actually seemed to be a decent ruler (under his leadership, until that point where he lost his mind and it seemed that the capital was about to fall, they'd held off Mordor and kept them from getting into the West (minus the fortress in Dol Guldor) and the Nine Nazgul that snuck...

Does anyone know of a good picture of Denethor, king of the Laiquendi? Or one they feel matches him best? Bump

All the Palantir users could intercept all the message between all the users synchronously, thus...how did Saruman avoid Denethor's message interception? Any idea?

I just thought of this? Would they have? Especially the older gentlemen and women? Why did it take him to heal someone to finally recognize him? Or did everyone I just mention get killed previous somehow or just die off and nobody remembers the Gallant Man who served Ecthelion? Thoughts?

They spoke the language of Gondor (whatever that is), which Pippin didn't speak. From the book it seems to me that he figured out from the conversations around him what was going on. It's unlikely that he learnt the language so quickly.

I just wonder, since Aragorn lived to be almost three times the age of normal men, because of his Numenor-blood, then should not Denethor, Faramir and Boromir become as old as him? It's written in the chapter Minas Tirith, that Denethor's blood was almost pure Numenorean, as was his son's...

When Denethor thought Faramir was dead, do you suppose he was upset because Faramir was dead, or because he was the last surviving member of his house, that no one would carry on his genes and his name even if it were Faramir. You suppose if he really was upset that it was Faramir that was dead...

I've seen the movies...now reading the books...the only conclusion I can find is that he loved Borimir so much, and he is taking it out on his living son...also, Faramir didn't bring him the ring when he had the chance... Are these the only 2 reasons why Denethor goes off his rocker??? He...

This is basicly and old thread that I started way back in the GoT before I was banned, thoguht I'd bring it out to light! It is a certain passage in the Return of the King that has been bothering me, it is when Gandalf speaks to Denetor in Rath dinen, the royal tomb in Minas Tirith...

Its funny how Tolkien slips in the little details that one doesn't give a second thought to until one learns more about the history of ME. For instance, after Pippin is being grilled by Denethor, Gandalf says this to Denethor I believe that he is talking about his role as Olorin, the Maia and...

How does everyone else feel about PJ's choice for Denethor? Personally, I'm glad that they chose a relatively unknown actor for the part because they were judged on their pure talent as an actor rather than getting in by their reputation preceding them. Morgaphry

Considering the already released images of the Return of the King movie, what do you think of Denethor? Does he seem too young to fit the character? Or does he have just the right look for it? Or something in the middle, maybe? P.S. - Pretend Faramir is not in the picture: they didn't...

This is a thread to accompany my Faramir and Immediate King Recognition thread which long ago went the way of the dinosaur and hid on the bottom of Loch Ness... This refers more to the Appendix than the actual novel... but both are discussable. In the story of Thoronguil's service in...

I was looking on lordoftherins.net and found this picture http://www.lordoftherings.net/images/ca_jnobl.jpg Is that suposed to be Denethor? If if is he is nothing like I imagined him!
