Actually, I think I'll do the same. May I first state that I am entirely in agreeance with Legolas here.

Your comments about the nature of the Nazgul and whether the Mouth was a braggart are solely based on your opinion and therefore cannot contradict something that Tolkien wrote in LOTR.

No, it shows that the Mouth thinks being a spokesman for a godlike entity is of greater worth than being king of a kingdom that he believes is about to be destroyed.

That stood out to me rather painfully, I'm afraid. Tolkien actually 'wrote in LOTR' this:
Quote:

'They would be his servants, and he their tyrant...'

Whether or not this would be the case, the Mouth thought it would be.
