Flaws in Lord of the Rings... Yes in the book.

[Kronos]

I too fail to see the logic in your point about how LOTR is flat and two-dimensional, maybe another read would cure that short-sightedness.

I like the assumption above that always comes up when flaws in Tolkein are discussed. It’s the reader’s fault. You shouldn’t be so stupid. You don’t understand.

Or perhaps it just IS two dimensional.

Apart from being the Lieutenant of Morgul, uh trying to dominate and lord over Middle-Earth

Erm, take a look at the size of the combined realm of Arnor and Gondor at their greatest extent. Are they evil? If you seem them as not then how to absolve them of their domination tendencies?
