 Posted: Wed Jun 16, 2004 3:12 pm Post subject: What if one of the fellowship were to die in the quest? |
 |
|
| This actually came from another site that I stumbled into while surfing the net. I think it's an excellent question, though. What if one of the fellowship were to die? (In battle, amidst a fight, discovered they had split ends and killed themselves) The challenge was how would the rest of the fellowship react? who would be the most affected? what would they do about it? and no- borimir doesn't count, i think. anyway i thought it would be an interesting thing to read about, i want to try, but i can't think of anything. |

Just a question; what about Gandalf? Yes, I know he comes back, but he does actually die (or his body dies)!
So, Boromir doesn´t count, right? Does Gandalf count?  |

Not to poop on your parade, Maravelynne; it's just that characters did die and I think it important to keep hold of that. It was war, people died.
So, what would have happened if the Fellowship lost three members?
They say once a group in trouble loses half or more of its number it psychologically can't go on and will fail and the members likely die.
Sorry; didn't mean to be so depressing ...

Can't we kill off Frodo?
I mean really - give the damn ring to Sam.

If you really want to muck up the rest of the story, how about Aragorn dying? Would be interesting to see what would have happened if he’d gone rather than Boromir.

| I think the wierdest one to go would have been Sam. How would Frodo have made it with gollum alone as a guide? The ring would have never made it to mordor! Buggy you are really a crack up! I enjoy your humor! |

OBVIOUSLY I meant "OTHER THAN BOROMIR?!?!?" and look, this wasn't my idea and i've been nothing but polite to everybody here, I've accepted your criticism very well and I'm sorry if your bluntness seems to offend me at times. How could I not mean "OTHER THAN BOROMIR?!?!?
Sorry, I couldn't control myself. Maybe my temper got a bit out of hand and despite what I write and how kind and shy I seem at times things DO make me angry, you know, like every sane human being. If you have nothing sensible or constructive to post in a message board than please do not continue to post things that have to do with me. I am not afraid of people disliking me, so don't bother.
And to everyone else- thanx for reading! I'll cool off in a little bit. I can't think of anything nice and/or self demeaning to say right now, but have a nice night, or where I'm at it's 10:24 PM. Been a long day. Excuse my temper. |

Hmmm... -throws Arwen off a cliff- Buh bye!    
Yeah, can we just kill off Frodo? I find him amazingly irritating...

Leave Eowyn alone! Much fun can be had with her... 
If we must kill anyone -- let´s get rid of Frodo. He annoys the crap out of me! I don´t know why, but....AARGH!
There -- I feel better now.  |

Dear Mara,
I'm sure that Nancy was just joking. This is a pretty friendly board and we don't go out of our way to insult people. I certainly read her comments as her having a bit of fun and I'm pretty sure everyone else saw it that way as well. As for the question, well that was the first thing I thought when I read the subject like - other than Boromir. However, like the rest of the board, we clued into the point of your post very quickly.
Its a good question and I personally think the death with the biggest ramification is Sam or Aragorn. Sam's pivotal in the destruction of the ring and the unification of Men would not be without Aragorn. |
