| I'm glad to see that Gandalf recognizes Pippin's courage, even if he didn't himself. Gandalf has to be the most terrified, as more than anyone he knows the big picture, and the fullness of what is at stake. And I'm gald to see Merry up and about, and hopeful for the future, even if he cannot convince Eowyn. And now Aragorn gets show his courage by doing what he greatly fears. Beregond's tale of Denethor's fall is a flat warning against having too much pride in your own strength, which Aragorn would do well to heed. When the mighty fall, they fall far and take many with them. He must be careful now, so near the goal, not to falter. (Good thing I know how it ends.) I really missed this in the movies. Denethor's madness was much more random without the Palantir, and we missed a great chance for Aragorn in the scene I'm anticipating you'll show us next. Author Reply: And I'm whimpering at the challenge of writing it. Even the Professor shied away from showing Aragorn's confrontation with Sauron directly, who am I to run in where he feared to tread? But I've pretty much committed myself to do so - yikes!!! Thank you so much for all the lovely feedback - *very* encouraging. :D BTW Aragorn and Arwen's wedding is in 'I Have Made My Choice' along with how she comes to be in Gondor in the first place. | |
