Tolkien's best fight - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, in my point of view, I would have to say I like the Battel of the Pelannor Fields the best. It's not because it was the biggest or the scariest or anything like that, it's just because of the major events that happened within.

For instance, Merry and Ewoyn finally got to rise above all others and prove they were really worth something. After being rejected, looked down upon, and told to stay behind, they were finally able to show that they could fight, and that the others were wrong for rejecting them. If it wasn't for these two characters, the entire line of Kings of Rohan would probably be dead.

For another thing, this battle showed Pippin's worth as well. If not for the battle, the steward of Gondor probably would have never freaked out, Pippin would have never run to Gandalf to come try to save Denethor from his own self, and eventually Pippin probably wouldn't have become a knight of Gondor...which still, pretty much, would have made him forever after that "Fool of a Took". Poor Pippin... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

The battle was very cool though. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
