I don't think he would hide in the mountains like Gollum. Remember that at the time that Gollum found the Ring, Sauron was not very powerful. The Ring knew this; so, It made Gollum retreat into the...

Now, we are entering into my realm of study. But I don't think that JRRT was going to write up Laws of Physics of Ea. Something tells me that that wasn't his realm of study. If the Elves were...

I think we all can agree to an answer to the first question posted; but, I find the second question much more interesting. Once the Ring was destroyed, so was Sauron. We can agree on this. ...

Good point, possible answer:

Saruman could hide his deep thoughts well. Examples, none of the Council preceived his real intentions (finding the ring), for a while he even fooled Sauron of his...

I believe that they would have time to get to the Havens. If Sauron conquered Minas Tirith, he would still need to "attack" the rest of Eriador before he could claim his dominance. This is why he...

I don't know about you, but I don't consider pity to be a warm and fuzzy type of emotion. Rather, I think, especially in this case, it's a painful almost guilty feeling.

Cheers

Now I'm not really sure about this, it's just an idea I had, but there is no real proof that I'm aware of in the text. The Elves have won great renown as being the Firstborn, the first of the...

Oh Grima, he is so intresting. First of all, you have to understand that Grima was a double crossing double crosser. He obviously betrayed Theoden and Rohan, but he also betrayed Saruman on several...

Hello Everyone,

I'm quite new here, but not new to JRRT. Hope to get into some facinating discussions with you all soon.

I cannot agree with this. Smeagol was not evil to start with. Yes, he did have certain undesirable qualities (jealousy, sneakiness, and an unquenchable curiosity) but that does not make him evil. ...

Interesting question Silver Dragon! I don't know if I have a real clear answer, just speculation. You know how sometimes you get too many thoughts in your head, and you kind of have to sit back and...

I believe that the attacks at Dale and the Lonely Mt were threefold. First, and most obvious, to put a strain of the Men and Dwarves of the north. Secondly, long ago the ring had been to the Lonely...

Indeed, if you know some elvish you might notice that Cirith Ungol in fact traslates to "Spider's Cleft" or "Spider's Pass." Gollum refering to her, faramir's fear of the pass, along with Gandalf's...

perhaps an explination again lies in the Music. Melkor originally changes his theme in order to create his own themes, even though they are just perversions of the theme given to him by Eru. At...

Tolkien Faithfulness in Middle Earth

In reviewing the Ainulindale last night, I started to think about JRRT's message here on loyalty/faithfulness. This idea is undoubtably central not only to this portion of the professors writings,...
