LOTR question concerning aragorn

[mycdplayerisbroke]

i know he's king and everything
i read the books and all (scimmed through them)
but why doesnt he go back to that town where he will be king instead of being a ranger?
like why didnt he just get handed down kingship from his dad or something.. why was theoden king instead of him?

[musiclover]

Argon! that's what that name reminds me of! :lol:

[busybeeburns]

isnt that a gas?

phoar smelly :D

[psychedelic_clocks]

theoden was king of rohan and wasn't aragorn suppose to king of gondor??
or i could just be wrong as always.

[mycdplayerisbroke]

or whatever the king of gondor was
and yes he (aragorn) was supposed to be king of gondor... thats why im asking why was he a ranger?

[psychedelic_clocks]

he was ashamed of who he was because (i dont know the names, im not a lotr geek) the king who was suppose to distroy then ring didn't and thats why he went off, i think. something like that.

there wasn't a king of gondor, the father (faremire, i think) of boramir and the other guy was something that started with an s i think (sorry, short-term memory) he was basically the kings assistant, but since there was no king, yea.
that might be confusing
i dont know

[mycdplayerisbroke]

no faremire and boramir were brothers

[psychedelic_clocks]

okay
im not good with names, but their father wasn't the king but had thing. ah. forget it.

[Charline'sMOM]

denethor who is the father of boramir and faramir, was the steward of gondor,,,,holding the throne untill the true heir to the throne was found

[mycdplayerisbroke]

you lie

[Charline'sMOM]

ok

[psychedelic_clocks]

thats it.
you're the geek.

[Charline'sMOM]

i have no shame

[jocole37]

Aragorn was ashamed of his bloodline, he was afraid of following in the footsteps of his ansestors, so he decided to flee, he was actually raised by elves.

[Charline'sMOM]

that is correct. aragorn lived in rivendell for awhile

[musiclover]

Rohan is an Indian boy name :stunned:

[psychedelic_clocks]

Shire and some other names from LOTR are horse names... I don't know if he intended to do that...

[Charline'sMOM]

[StupidIntel]

no... i mean like real horse names.Like Shire is a horse.

[musiclover]

i thot Shire was just a generic name for 'county'...like Cheshire or ....

[Charline'sMOM]

i thot Shire was just a generic name for 'county'...like Cheshire or ....
i concur

[StupidIntel]

I'm saying that a lot of the names from LOTR are horse names... not that he named the places after horses!

[Charline'sMOM]

I'm saying that a lot of the names from LOTR are horse names... not that he named the places after horses!

[musiclover]

some of those names, specially in Harry Pothead, are comical and thinly-veiled! :lol:

MALfoi? give me a break! :D and Malfoi is supposed to be the 'bad' guy...

[StupidIntel]

I'm saying that a lot of the names from LOTR are horse names... not that he named the places after horses!

[musiclover]

wasn't there some new book supposedly written single-handedly by some teen nerd..and it was thematically very similar or a mix of the LOTR and the Harry Pothead movies.

the guy got famous and made millions, apparently.

[Charline'sMOM]
