Lovely. When I saw you'd posted an entry to this challenge I must admit I was expecting Hobbits, but this was a nice surprise. You write Denethor very well, especially since you've had so few words to do it in. Excellent. Very Happy smiley face

You've really captured Denethor's spirt, in 100 words you've done it better imho than an entire movie. Cool

This line was utterly poetic: "Dare I hope that a better son may forgive a bitter father?" Strong, wrenching peek into the soul of Denethor.

Poor mad, sad Denethor - this piece touches a nerve when you read it and makes you feel a little sad for the 'misunderstood' Steward.

I agree with all opinions before me and more.

You feel angered by his actions, but with a glimpse inside you, you see that he is but a man. A mad one, misunderstood, but a man non-the-less.

Very nice, particularly since you came out of the Shire for this one. It's nice to see Denethor shown such compassion, and that he, appropriately, still has his pride intact. Well done.

You never disappoint. Truly evocative of the man. Thank you.

This was wonderful SML! The last line is beautiful and very appropriate to the situation.

'Dare I hope that a better son may forgive a bitter father?'

Ah, yes. So achingly perfect. Wonderful.
