Why did he throw that? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hi filbert! Welcome to the downs!

Honestly, I think that Grima was compelled
to follow Saruman because, well, Saruman was all he had left.

So I think that Grima's throwing of the Palantir was his way of lashing out a Saruman,
he could kill two birds with one stone, he would hurt Saruman's plans, and he could hopefully kill one of the fellowship while he's at it!

Grima's act of rebellion against Saruman was a prelude to his killing saurman later on,
it was a demonstration of his hatred yet ironic binding to Saruman.

Sure he understood that the Palantir was important, maybe he didn't understand exactly what it was or what it did, but he knew that it was valuable to saruman.
