Top 3 Saddest Deaths in Redwall Series [Spoilers!]

[HylianLegacy]

So we all know Redwall is full of sad deaths... which were the top 3 saddest to you?  

[HylianLegacy]

Yeah... I'd have to say
1) Rose (sniff sniff... cry every time)
2) Scarlath (my favorite bird)
3) Bragoon and Saro (i count them as one bc they died together)  

[XisTiger]

1. Rose (Died in battle)
2. Fleetscut and Jukka (Died together)
3. Urthstripe (Died when his brother, Urthwyte, arrived)  

[HylianLegacy]

yeah all so sad... i have to cry alot when reading them haha  

[Jen the Quiet]

1. Methuselah.
2. Rose.
3. ...I dunno. That's all I've got.  

[Wolf_Of_TeH-Sea]

1. Bragoon and Saro (i actually cried crying )
2. Methuslah
3. Rockjaw or Russa Nodrey  

[Celestiara]

1-Rose ('nuff said)
2-Luke (world's most obsessed, yet lovable dad)
3-Martin (I know there's no book with that actual story in it *grumbles* but you've gotta admit it'd top the list if it did exist, so I'm giving it an honorary place in my list)
4-Mother Mellus (Go Blaggut with the revenge!)  

[Sarrel Taviks]

Rose, mostly because Martin didn't remember her at all, and that made me sad. At least, I don't remember him remembering her...  

[Celestiara]

You can't help but wonder what the series would be like if BJ had written them chronologically. For one, Rose probably would have lived!

1. Rose ( Martin the Warrior: I agree with most on that. She could have been Martin's wife!)
2. Mask (Mossflower: He was so cool!)
3. Veil (Outcast of Redwall: I liked him.)

Yeah, I think that's weird too. Mossflower is after Martin the Warrior, but he doesn't remember anything from the that!  

[Headmaster Sheef]

A hard choice, indeed.

1) Finnbarr Galedeep
I tend to be a sentimental old softie, but I cried for over twenty minutes(!) when I read the part where he dies. I am actually getting teary thinking about it now. One of Mr. Jacques' finest pieces of writing!

2) The Mask
Wow - one of my favorite characters ever, and died so heroically! I cried on this one, too.

3) Finally, last but not least, Fleetscut and Jukka. Man...like Finnbarr's death in The Bellmaker, I had to put the book down for a while after this. It literally felt like the whole world had fallen down around my ears. I get too deeply involved in stories sometime, and he had made these two so real to me it was devastating to read about their deaths!

I just want to say I applaud Mr. Jacques for bringing such a touch of pathos to young adult's works in this manner; many authors refuse to touch the subject of death, or worse, use worn-out cliches that take away any meaning. Mr. Jacques creates living, breathing characters, and makes sure that his readers understand the sacrifices that must be made to defeat the forces of evil. A rare talent, indeed!

"GAAAAAAAAALLLLLEEEEEDEEEEEEEEEEEP!"

Actually, he promised to never reveal anything about Rose's people. He mourned for her all of his life probably...he had no wife or kids, remember?  

[Akiko-infinity]

hard to choose...i'll have to extend the list a little:
1. Saro and Bragoon
2. Luke
3. Warbeak
4. Finbarr Galedeep
5. Bloodbeak(i think that was his name)
6. Jukka and Fleetscut
7. Russa Nodrey
8. The one Hare that tried to save redwall when he was injured. He was knocked out by one of the others cuz he didn't want to stay behind, but then was killed when redwall's gates were breached. Can't for the life of me remember his name.
9. Mask
10. Methuseluh  

[Calllidus]

Hmmm I'd say:

Bragoon and Sara- (two of my fave characters Sarabando is my nickname lol

Rose

Starbuck and Breeze
