![]() ![]() I like it because of that, but it's too hasty to be Entish.) I wish they could have gotten Isobel Bayrakdarian for RotK as well.) The Passage of the Marshes (Very creepy, the voices extra so.)Įvenstar (The jewel of the album, extremely haunting. The Rohirric theme is rather annoying and sounds like it's trying too hard to make me feel pity for the poor wretches. I don't really care for this volume as much as the others. Very relieved to hear that it's Sam's theme. The Breaking of the Fellowship (I don't really care for "In Dreams," but this is a very good song. The Great River (This is more Elvish than Lothlorien, or almost anything else.)Īmon Hen (This song goes together so perfectly, the beginning, the Saruman theme which is so cool, and the boy choir, specifically at 3:13.) The Ring Goes South (I love this little song. The Prophecy (Wow, what can I say? This is like a sweeping overview of the ages when the trees of gold and silver were in bloom.) The boy choirs & the 5/4 time of Saruman's orcs is very well done, and there are bits and notes in nearly every song that make it feel like I've listened to it forever. General opinion: Time has made this the dearest volume, but I don't care for the too-overly choral pieces or most of the elvish stuff. Sincerely, I would have thrown Pippin from the top of the walls.Aww, Ollie, you were ssssssssssssoo sssssssssssad, Precious? >:DĪlright, if you care about my opinion at all, go ahead and read. It is quite understandable that he was not very happy with anything related to the Fellowship. There is none of the help his son was sent to ask for.Īdditionally, Sauron pressure is intense and he does not know if Aragorn will be a help against it or will try to claim his title immediately (leading to internal dissent). The throne is to be claimed by someone who, at most, has seen Gondor in the distance (and to top that, comes alongside the quite Machiavellian Gandalf) His son is dead all he knows about it is that the new King was supposed to be near him, Was probably grooming Boromir as his heir. Is the last member of a long dynasty of (for anything except the name) kings Together with Gandalf (almost by his hand) is Aragorn, who is going to claim the throne. In the book, when he meets Pippin and Gandalf, he is already aware that: [The Siege ofĮven if the official title was "Steward", Denethor and his family had been the only rulers of Gondor for almost one thousand years, since the death of King Eärnur. Meanįolk shall rule the last remnants of the Kings of Men. My line too is ending, even the House of the Stewards has failed. What did break Denethor in the end was the thought that his line was wiped out Sauron could not dominate him through the Palantir as he had done with Saruman. It should also be noted Gandalf came to Gondor thinking perhaps that Denethor had been turned. Last of a ragged house long bereft of lordship and dignity. I will not step down to be theĭotard chamberlain of an upstart. He was his "rival" in their early days in Gondor and also perhaps loved the power he had. Denethor himself held fast to this and he more likely than not knew who Aragorn was, perhaps not his true name, but he knew of his lineage and did not trust him. It has probably been ingrained in each Steward about the rule in Gondor that the King can only be someone who was descended directly in the male line from Anárion. Other mans's, unless the king should come again. The good of Gondor and the rule of Gondor, my lord, is mine and no ![]() To him there is no purpose higher in the world as it now stands than When he and Gandalf confront one another he tells him He was of sound mind even though he had been aged before his time. I would not say that Denethor was irrational either. Subtle, a man of far greater lineage and power, though he is notĬalled a king. So his mood and manner are not lost on Gandalf who has known him for over 80 years. Gandalf warns Pippin to be on his toes in the presence of Denethor. Suspected that he and Mithrandir designed to supplant him. Of Ecthelion there was less welcome for the Grey Pilgrim in MinasĮcthelion was Denethor's father and Aragorn counseled him to trust in Gandalf, but Denethor There was little love between Denethor and Gandalf and after the days Denethor is not so cool with Gandalf as his son Faramir, and Aragorn are for instance. ![]()
