What ends are those though? It seems to me that his agenda resolves mostly around having a swell day in the forest, dancing, singing and picking up some lilies for his beautiful wife on his way... |

Thanks for that quote! That is very true for the logic within the given situation of the story. But Tolkien constructed this situation in that way. Without Old Man Willow or a mean... |

I think you are both right about the concept of Tom Bombadil. His character is described in that way. But there's one thing I find curious about his role in the story. Which is that he has a role in... |

Interessing thoughts, Inziladun and Zigūr. The vanishing of the Morgul blade fits well into that theme. Like orcs, trolls and the ringwraiths themselves (to a certain extend) it can't stand the light... |

Well, I guess there's the possibility that the Morgul blade had an build-in timer (so to speak) and the vanishing of the blade was just by coincidence in time with the growing light and/or Aragorns... |

The dissolving Morgul blade
I have a small question regarding this: What was the cause for the disintegration of the Morgul blade? Did it disintegrate because it was being touched by Aragorn (like the movie suggests),... |

While I don't believe that Frodo had any bad intentions when he committed himself to be the ring-bearer, I find the circumstances of his decision rather interesting. We do get a hint that his choice... |

Sauron, Morgoth and the lust for beauty
What role did the admiration for beautiful things play in the mind of Sauron and Morgoth? This question bothered when I was thinking about Sauron's Ring scheme. Sauron went to great lenghts to... |

I don't think that this analogy is very helpful. Elves are a literary concept and thus constructed in a certain way. This is especially important when it comes to a writer like Tolkien who seldom... |

I guess the forum for the movies could be renamed as "Tolkien adaptations" or something similiar. (Video) games, movies and other popcultural adaptations could be discussed there equally. |
