i agree with mwcfrodo on the dialouge between gandalf and frodo. the line "many that die deserve life" has also had a great impact on me. i think that gandalf is a very wise character, almost a teacher of life/moral values... but maybe thats what a wizard's supposed to be.
anyway i really love the LOTR and i think if i hadnt read it when i was 14-15 (now im 1<img src=cool.gif ALT="8)"> maybe i would have been too "hasty" with some of the decisions i made since that time.
i think this topic is very interesting and id like to read some more postings on it <img src=smile.gif ALT="
