Okay, so where I got the idea from (after going back and reading the relevent parts) was in RtoK-----and now I don't have the book in front of me and so can't remember page no. or chapter; I'm pretty sure it was in the Pyre of Denethor or just before-----when Denethor complains to Gandalf of this Ranger from the north who comes with intentions to "usurp me". I guess my whole theory was based on the notion that 'usurp' means to unseat, or to take the place of. Now, if a king came back for the throne, he would be doing no such thing: the king does not take the steward's place; he takes the throne. And so it seemed logical that Denethor more or less thought of himself as the ruler of Gondor.
.... sketchy, I admit. Don't know what I was thinking.

I've been chasing grace; Grace ain't so easily found One bad hand can devil a man, chase him and carry him down. I've got to get out of here, just give me One Good Year! |
