OK, new to the board here, but I'm psyched I've found it! Question for discussion:
Do you feel Denethor's behavior was a direct result of him being "enslaved" by the power of Sauron through the Palantir? Or was his desperation just an eventuality that was a direct result of him trying to go toe-to-toe, with good intentions, with the Nameless One? Do you see where my two questions differ? In other words, was he just a less radical version of Saruman? The whole Palantir thing still confuses me, even though I'm in the middle of my 7th time reading the Trilogy. Discuss.
