(The Hobbit, Chapter 19, "The Last Stage"). Structurally, it would be very unsatisfying to audiences who must be engaged enough to wait for an entire year to continue the saga. Once the hobbits go into their rooms, Butterbur gives them a letter from Gandalf that he forgot to mail. "[13] Melkor soon destroyed Almaren, and the Valar established a new abode in the Uttermost West: the Blessed Realm of Valinor. For a while, Sauron apparently kept up the pretence that he was a faithful servant of the Valar, all the while feeding Melkor information about their doings. Gandalf looks haggard and alarmed. And here I have to note that last assumption: that the ring does everything Saruman hopes it will do. According to screenwriter Philippa Boyens, "Tom Bombadil is part of several false starts to Frodo's journey, and you cannot have things happening quite so episodically; that's not what storytelling is all about.".

I am inclined to believe that Sauron is right here and that even with the ring, Saruman is doomed. Once the hobbits go into their rooms, Butterbur gives them a letter from Gandalf that he forgot to mail. Change ), You are commenting using your Google account. The Fellowship passes by ruins during their journey through Hollin.

However it is very apparent from passages in both The Lord of the Rings and Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-earth that Saruman wields considerable influence over the Dunlendings, especially in that he appeals to their hatred of the Rohirrim in recruiting them for his war against Rohan.

It is necessary for Frodo to talk to Aragorn about his decision to leave so that the audience is aware of Frodo's thoughts, that are expressed only as narrative in the books. Sam looks first, and he is the one who sees the Shire's destruction. Gandalf tries to fight the power that Saruman has called and is once again defeated. Do you have a recommendation for a translation of Clausewitz to read? Arming Aragorn with a bow gives him more versatility in combat scenes. The good news is that book 1 and book 3 are going to be the ones you want, and they’re the ones that are basically ‘done.’ Did Tolkien elaborate? Bilbo does not attend the Council of Elrond. Elrond then declares the group "the Fellowship of the Ring.".

Thanks to reader RockyMars for bringing this to my attention! Pro: Presumably the dream was eliminated to leave more time for other scenes. Presumably this was done in the interests of time compression and to spread out the dialog among more characters. Without the letter, it is unclear why the hobbits so easily trusted Strider. Some of these groups of men became citizens of Gondor, but many of them fought against Gondor.

Here are the 20 Strange Things About Saruman’s Body In The Lord Of The Rings! While it could mean that Saruman had assumed control over Dunland, it could also be that he merely recruited Dunlending men into his army, and that he made no claims of lordship over Dunland. The cave troll manages to get its foot into the door, but Frodo drives it off by stabbing Sting into its toe. In a strange way, these make his strategic failures all the more glaring, because he often cannot plead ignorance of the key conditions necessary to make better decisions. When Boromir asks Aragorn who he is and what he has to do with Minas Tirith, Legolas stands up and tells Boromir that Aragorn is Isildur's heir, to whom Boromir should owe his allegiance. Also, having the other Fellowship members aware of his decision prevents unnecessary screentime of Fellowship members worrying about what happened to Frodo. Did Tolkien elaborate? However the people of Orthanc were closely related to the Dunlendings and they eventually joined the Dunlendings in attacking Rohran. And what of the Númenorean spell that later makes the Witch-King vulnerable.

I think those of you who have been reading this series from the beginning already know my verdict on Saruman: Saruman is a dummy-wummy whose plans failed because they were bad.

In the year 2510 the Steward Cirion ceded most of Calenardhon to the Eotheod to take as their own land. Posted by 6 years ago. Con: The adventures in the Old Forest demonstrate how dangerous the world outside the Shire is for the hobbits. Pro: A pre-arranged meeting with Gandalf gives Frodo are more pressing for leaving Hobbiton, as well as a more definitive direction to set out in, especially with the Crickhollow sequences eliminated.

"Film: Gandalf bumps his head on a chandelier and then a door frame when he first enters Bag End. On their way to Rivendell, Strider and the hobbits encounter Arwen riding Asfaloth. So we’re going to dissect Saruman’s strategy. This will be a night to remember! To be fair to the Romanians, they lasted five full months. , which cause the Bruinen to flood and wash the Black Riders away. Merry does not rejoin with the other three hobbits until Farmer Maggot drives them to the ferry, after their encounter with a Black Rider.

The real question is why Elrond did not get his his lazy butt over to Gondor to use his ring to make the Anduin an impassible death trap and why Glorfindel was not killing some Nazgul [Or frankly why not 10 walkers because the plan looks a lot better with Glorfindel saying time go Gandalf don’t worry I got this been here done this before Balrogs and all, and now and tell Aragorn how you intend to get into Mordor and stop keeping it to yourself]- since S could not make any more ring slaves even though held some 9+ rings. And we could end the analysis there (who am I to argue with Gandalf? Con: This change is an invention of the scriptwriters and does not represent Tolkien's work. With Ents back in the game one assumes thay and Galadriel and the victorious wood elves could have cleaned up Mirkwood back to the Green Wood. The One Ring is not affiliated with the Tolkien Estate or Tolkien Enterprises. First he is sending out a party to get the ring and return, and he is using Wormtongue to disable Rohan and he is preparing open war against Rohan with the aim of capturing the kingdom. Con: Gandalf is an intelligent being of great authority and power, who has visited Bag-End many times before. Pro: Presumably this was done in the interests of time compression and to spread out the dialog among more characters. And that’s not even the end of the potential for failure. Gandalf assigns Pippin the first watch "as a reward," but kindly relieves him an hour later. In practice, it ought to be conceded that every part of this plan was high risk, given that they all fail – but while the complete failure of Saruman’s plan was necessary for our heroes’ hail-mary pass to defeat the larger threat of Sauron, as we’ll see, the failure of any part would doom Saruman. The scene also conveys the relentlessly brutal means by which the evil lords acquire the "loyalty" of their warriors. For the movies, we will have to make motivations a little tighter and more urgent.".

We should start with Saruman’s plan, sketching it out as far into the future as we can. Once Uglúk fails – and Tolkien tells us “So ended the raid, and no news of it came ever back either to Mordor or to Isengard; but the smoke of the burning rose high to heaven and was seen by many watchful eyes” (TT, 74), which I take to mean that a watchful Saruman would have known it had been destroyed – Saruman ought to have known he needed to change plans. Unlike Saruman, the Witch King has a cavalry force nearly the equal of Rohan’s, supported by elephants.

The books aren't clear on what the Fire of Orthanc exactly is, but the movies showed it to be a kind of bomb that needed to be ignited in order to work. Would security be enhanced by, say, gaining a key chunk of territory that could be fortified to forestall invasion? Isildur’s brother Anarion had actually built Minas Anor (later named Minas Tirith) to defend the young kingdom against the “wild men of the hills”, presumably either the Dunlendings or the Druedain (although it seems unlikely the Druedain would have been hostile to Numenoreans). Con: Gandalf was a being of great dignity and composure. Saruman was sent to Middle Earth in order to help the Free peoples defeat Sauron. Lurtz, an Uruk-hai bred by Saruman, leads a rebellion against Isengard's other Orcs and defeats them. This change is an invention of the scriptwriters and does not represent Tolkien's work. Book: Butterbur and Gandalf are friends. Sam is present at the Council from its start. To good effect if not exactly in the manner expected. Saruman had been playing on both sides for a long time, as he didn't want Sauron to be totally removed from the equation, since he felt that the One Ring would present itself when Sauron emerged from Mordor. The scene requires additional dialog written by the scriptwriters rather than by Tolkien. Gandalf, Sauron and Saruman names and nicknames. Also, when he unsheathes Anduril, he symbolically transforms from Strider to Aragorn. Scott has been writing for Screen Rant since 2016 and regularly contributes to The Gamer. Merry and Pippin also see Frodo leaving. Saruman thought he'd be able to track down the Ring and challenge Sauron himself. The immediate result is that he is…almost immediately crushed flat by Treebeard and the Ents, who blindside his army and his one fortress, because Saruman has failed to scout out the ‘nation’ of trees that he has been actively provoking for the better part of a year at least – but of course we’re not considering the Ents here (because Saruman sure didn’t).
