Eöl and Denethor - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Eöl and Denethor have a few interesting similarities; both tried to kill their own son but failed because of the intervention of others, and both died in similar ways (at least the Denathor in the film dies in a similar way). Did you guys notice these similarities; or any others I may have missed?

P.S. I wasn’t sure if this should go in books or movies section, so if this is in the wrong area, please move it.

I think that the similarities are nothing more then a simple coincidence.

Maybe the problems they had in the love life?

Denethor was loved by his wife, wasn't he? And anyway, the wife died. Eol... well, his wife ran away.

Of course, both were psychos...
