Who had the most powerful death in LOTR?
I would definitely have to say Denethor... Gollum is a close, close second. What do the rest of you think?

Boromir's was powerful too, as was Thorin's.

Aragorn and Arwen (in the appendix). I cry every time I read that part!

I go with Boromir and his repented heart.

Death
I will have to say that the death of Theoden was the one I wished had never happened but the most powerful had to have been Gandalf's in the mines of Moria!

Re: Who had the most powerful death in LOTR?
Well, I have to say Boromir´s because it was the first one I thought of. I thought Theoden´s death were very heroic. When I read about Gandalf´s "end" in Moria the first time I felt sad.

This might not count in this category...
But Sauron's passing marked the end of an age - the age of the Valar and Maiar intervention on Earth. After this, man was on his own. The age we live in is very little different from the one inaugerated when Sauron shuffled off this mortal coil. Now, the only magic to be found is rare and fleeting, a question mark in the corner of the eye...

Saruman for me...
... the smoke floating out of the dead body, looking to the East of its youth, like asking forgiveness... but a wind from there blew the smoke away. What a waste of power and hope Saruman had been. Heros and guardians sent under his "authority" to protect the living creatures against Sauron, but then falling under his own avarice. If there was a sign that the Creation should try on its own not to be chaperonned by the East after Sauron's death, then it was Saruman, the incarnation of how so much Good can turn so bad.

Re: Saruman for me...
Wow, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Gollum besides myself. And when I wrote the original post, I forgot Boromir... I'd say IMO he's third behind Denethor and Gollum... and Théoden gets my honourable mention. Sauron's demise was mighty significant, but it wasn't powerful enough for me - I wasn't affected in any particular way.

Re: Another Hernalt?
Yeah, if you look at some other topics in the forums, you'll see Hernalt makes long, complicated, intelligent posts :P

Re: Another Hernalt?
Back on topic, I'll go with Boromir, Denethor, and Saruman, in that order.
