I can find no such well inside me - only a vast desert in which grief echoes. - Beautiful and sad, and to my mind true. I can see Denethor turning more inward, drying up, growing ever more bitter; not that he necessarily started out as Mr. Rogers, but I would think that Finduilas brought out the best in him.



Author Reply: Ok, the image of Denethor as Mr. Rogers is the weirdest thing I've thought of in a very long time. :)
But yes, he strikes me very much as the kind of person who would bottle everything up and/or deny his feelings, which is never a good thing.
Thanks!

Oh! That last line is a killer!

Author Reply: Thank you! I often have trouble making Denethor sympathetic.

Denethor, I take it. And I can empathise, I find.

Author Reply: Yes, I couldn't really see Denethor breaking down in front of people. But the controlled grief is sometimes worse on a person.
Thanks!
