Most Tragic Moment? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think Boromir's Death was just the first of many tragic moments in the book. I feel that Treebeard was a wee bit tragic because of there being no more Entwives. I also thought Theoden's death at the hand's of the Witch-King was not only tragic but gut renching. Frodo leaving Middle-Earth was sad for me as well Arwen giving up immortality for the man she loved, that was heart-warming and romantic but was always destined to have a tragic ending.

My two most tragic moments if when the baby sons of Dior are left out to starve and the end of Numenor - a pointless act of vengeance in which many innocents died made more so when it was perpetrated a a supposedly good character (Don't attack me here its all discussed in the thread Attrocity of the Akallabeth). I think Fingolfin was an idiot who died stupidly and pointlessly.
