The reference is on pages 354 & 355. As for not hesitating to swear the oath, Feanor was an excellent speaker and pesuader. He probably wound them up so much at the time they just did it!! Then regretted it later!! |

I was being sarcastic - I don't like Feanor.

ok, true saddest moment - destruction of the entwives has to rank high up somewhere.
on a side note, what happens to ents and entwives when they die, do their spirits go to the gardens of Irmo in Aman? |

That might be a good assumption, I don't know.

Saddest moment? It's so difficult to choose. Some ideas:
-the destroying of the two Trees -Feanor becoming evil -the fall of Gondolin -Turin killing Beleg -Fingon and Finrod's death -what happend to Maedhros and Maglor after they ragained the silmarils -the story of Aegnor and Andreth ....stop me, please! |

In RotK in the book when Sam finds Frodo on a heap of rags all out of it and covered in whip-welts; in RotK the movie, when Sam's trying to cheer Frodo up a little by mentioning strawberries and the party tree, and Frodo can't remember anything familiar or comforting anymore..."I'm naked in the dark" etc. Both those moments had me crying a little bit.

I think the saddest moment would have to be when The hobbits have to leae Aragorn in Gondor at thhe end of the ROTK.

Oh I just remembered a very sad moment in LotR. Where Sam and Frodo are already in Mordor and Sam whatches over the sleepng Frodo. He looks up and sees one star shinging in the sky and he gets new hope for the world, even though they were sure to fail. The way Tolkien wrote it was just lovely. Very striking piece.

That's easy, the part that always makes me cry (the book, not the movie) is of course the end of things....when Frodo, Gandalf, & the last of the elves sails away and the three (3) companions travel home together.....breaks my heart….I’m only slightly ever consoled by the idea that Sam left to join him at the end of his days…..Tolkien does a good job of suggesting it, at least. Also, when Aragorn takes death and leaves the Queen to wander back to that mound in the forest to die…..Major Gut Wretch…..

Ah yes. One forgets a lot of the things - a sign that I've read the book way too long ago. The way Arwen dies has quite a way of touching the heart. I really felt sorry for her.
