It is a tragic scene. Boromir, Denethor, Gollum: all major tragic figures Tolkien paints most evocatively. I suppose you could throw Saruman in there as well.

Sorry Dan, it is easy to feel sorry for Boromir, and Gollum as well. Denethor is harder, but I grudgingly can do it for him too. But feeling sorry for Saruman because he betrayed his maker and those he was supposed to protect is like feeling sorry for Lucifer. John Milton couldn't make me do it, and you can't do it either.
