Tolkien What Do You Think Of The Witch King Of Angmar?

A kid at school calls me The Witch King,
and I was just wondering you think of
The Witch King.

The Witch King.

First word that springs to mind is evil [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
The Witch King... haven't learnt much of him. I suppose he was a rather powerful figure once upon a time. Now he's obviously a tad corrupted [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Was the Witch King corrupted of his own accord, or were the wraiths similar to the orcs, ie. corrupted and used as minions more against their will? I read that the orcs did not like serving Sauron, so is this the same for the wraiths?

well i think the witch king was pretty cool, ya know how he coudn't be killed by a man, but was killed my a woman, and a hobbit..... hehe

You should be proud of such a title, young lad! I chose the title of Lord of the realm of Angmar of my own free will. The Witch King is certainly one of the great characters of Tolkien's works; sinister and cunning, malevolent and dreadful, his heart-piercing cry can strike a note of terrible fear in even the mightiest foe. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] Wear your title proudly!

My Heavens! This essay again! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] A pleasurable read indeed!

Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow;
Dark black his cloak is, and his sword cleaves Men like jello!

I suppose that would be Tom's "Witch-King" side speaking. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
