Time indeed to call for Diamond to come, I think. The idea of marrying someone not of his own choice and against his inclinations is working against Pippin's recovery. Ah, Paladin--what you have wrought! Your lad needs acceptance, not ordering about! Author Reply: *sigh* You have the right of it. And somehow it makes me think of Denethor. We had a long discussion of Denethor today, in the LOTR literature class that I am co-teaching. Interestingly, the other teacher has a firmly movie-version Denethor in his mind, and even reading the book, his opinions were clearly coloured by the film depiction. Against that foil I could see more clearly Denethor as tragic figure, noble though fatally flawed. It made for a thought-provoking discussion. | |
