A question about class in Middle Earth - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Mansun, what point are you trying to make with that quote?

At most it means that Saruman had the idea that he and his fellow–Maiar might become a ruling class. That wasn't the actual situation.

Besides, this is Saruman we're talking about. He may not have been sincere, but rather planning to enlist Gandalf's aid, then stab him in the back.

Mansun's funny.

Well, I am assuming that the quote isn't meant to be directed at anyone.
