Mouth of Sauron? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Morthoron · 11-27-2010, 06:49 PM

Well, the Mouth of Sauron couldn't bloody well have a conversation like...

MoS: I am the Mouth of...ahem.

Gandalf: Beg pardon? The Mouth? The Mouth of whom?

MoS: You know.

Aragorn: Ummm...I am afraid we don't.

MoS: Oh come on! Him -- you know -- HIM!

Gandalf: You are not being very clear.

MoS: You know, the Big Guy.

Aragorn: Is he referring to a Troll?

Gimli: Could be. Troll's need someone to speak for them.

Legolas: Aye, they are very inarticulate.

MoS: No, no, no! I am the Mouth of Sssssss...of Sssss...oh damn!

Gandalf: Sssss?

Pippin: Sam!

Gimli: No! What would a Hobbit need with another mouth? They have one too many already!

Gandalf: This is getting us nowhere. What we need is someone who can speak for Sauron.

Pippin: Why, can't he speak for himself?

MoS: Sighs...

Perhaps at the time when Aragorn said 'Neither does he use his right name, nor permit it to be spelt or spoken...' at the time Sauron was still building his power and armies trying to be as secret as possible. Then by the time they speak with the Mouth of Sauron (third book) its already obvious that it's him so why pretend it's not.

Here's something out of the Encyclopedia of Arda that I base my statement on.

"One possible reason for Aragorn's error is that his information is out of date. For most of the Third Age, Sauron had been building his strength, in secret, at Dol Guldur. Given his need to remain hidden, it's natural that he would ban his servants from using his real name. Any detailed information that Aragorn had about him and his ways would date back to Gandalf's spying expeditions in this period."
