How did he die..........? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I've always considered his death to be a sum of many things. First it's Merry's sword (which, btw, will in the movie be king Theoden's boyhood sword...). And second, it's that no living man -thing. And if you will be nitpicky (that I am...) you could say that neither Eowyn nor Merry is. Eowyn is a woman, not a man and Merry is a Hobbit, not a Man (human...). Interesting, isn't it...?
