<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>What is with the whole "the world of men shall fall" theme<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>If I remember correctly, it was Boromir who actually said the world of men would fall and this was as he was bleeding to death with a lot of Uruk-hai arrows styling his fashionable attire. I think he was referring to the fact that already the Southern men had sworn allegiance to Sauron and that soon the rest of Men would follow suit.<P>When Elrond and Gandalf are speaking in Rivendell and Elrond says that Men are weak, I think he was pondering along the same lines as Boromir did during his final moments. So I don't think they were talking about the extinction of Men per se, but rather their fall to Sauron's rule.
