ohhh -That- is an incredibly interesting set of parallels I'd never thought about before Love the point about Denethor (with all his future-sight!) not being able to look beyond a separation of him and his sons or his kingdom and see a future Really reminds me of how easy it can be to not be able to imagine your life without the thing you've devoted much of it to - and how easily that can lead to a powerful combination of pride and despair kind of an 'my way or not at all'/'if I don't have this it's pointless' type mindset Sam choosing /what Frodo followed/ over his own attachment to Frodo!! being such a beautiful parallel to how we must go about our Master's business!! man there are so many good points here. bravo! lord of the rings sam gamgee denethor also faith good reminders
