Aragorn vs. Denethor....??? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This is a good question! I wonder too whether or not Denethor would surrender the throne if he survived. I suppose the easist answer to give is "the point is moot. He didn't, he died."

Still...

If Aragorn came out victorious in the war, then would it not shatter the evil and fey mood that Denethor possessed via the Palantir? Yet, it still seemed that the attitude was not one of devotion to the true King. Am I just thinking only of the movie, or did the quote "Gondor has no king, Gondor needs no King" originate from Boromir more than just in the movie?
