The kings adviser arrived in Isengard and told Saruman about the plan of the king. With this information Saruman sent his troops to Helms Clam. Merry and Pippin were in the middle of a huge wood with an Ent. The Ent made a Enting to decide if the two were orcs or if they are from Auenland. But M and P wanted him to fight against
Ents; he is the chief representative of nature in Middle-Earth (where the Lord of the Rings takes place), whilst his counterpart, the wizard Saruman (played by Christopher Lee) represents industry. Both book and film show the theme of ecology through the struggle of nature vs. industry; Treebeard vs. Saruman. It is this clash between Treebeard and Saruman that is the main theme of The Lord of the Rings in miniature: good vs. evil. There is a constant struggle to save the old world, the natural

After that, they march to Isengard. The ents are angry at Saruman, their neighbor, who cuts down their trees and burns them without reason and who also trains Orcs not to be afraid of Fangorn.
• On the first appearance of the Uruk-hai, we do not hear their theme. • Likewise, the first time we are introduced to the armor-clad Rohans, their theme is also absent. • Imbalance in Saruman/Sauron’s conversation; the Barad-Dur theme is present, but Sauron’s theme is absent, indicating an uneven alliance. Setting: Merry and Pippin chase a pack of Uruk-hai, and this pack soon joins a group of Orcs. This group makes way to Isengard, when suddenly they realize that they are being pursued. Aragorn
Tolkien believed that with great power comes corruption. So, no one person can be trusted to wield so much power. He demonstrates this in each character that has a role of leadership of the different groups of Middle-earth. Galadriel, Boromir, and Saruman, all hold positions of power or influence within their various groups. Yet none of them could be trusted to possess the dark power of the Ring, while the simple hobbit named Frodo seems to be able to carry on the
awareness of [her] own being” (Katz 20). Galadriel’s kindness, generosity and the awareness of her self saves her from the malevolent power of the Ring. Through Galadriel Tolkien shows readers that with moral character you can deny power. Similarly, Saruman is a character in a position of power, except he has little appreciatio... ... middle of paper ... ...and Philosophy: One Book to Rule Them All.

The fantasy genre, cherished by many of all ages, utilizes plots that bring the reader to the edge of their seat. A myriad of twists and turns fill the plots of fantasy books, leaving the reader with their head spinning, but desiring more. Furthermore, these twists and turns, otherwise known as essential episodes, fuel the plot. Books from the fantasy genre that employ robust essential episodes include The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien, with the juncture where the book introduces the luminary Gandalf

After three days of running, they meet a troop of the riders of Rohan. The horsemen's leader, tells them that that the orcs were killed on the edge of Fangorn forest, with no survivors.

“The Lord of the Rings is racist. It is soaked in the logic that race determines behavior.” (Ibata 2). Many people have tried to perpetuate the myth that J.R.R. Tolkien was racist. They cite various scenes in The Lord of the Rings, in both the books and in the movies. These people are lying or ignorant. J.R.R. Tolkien was not a racist, nor did he ever intend for his novels to be viewed as such. There is plenty of evidence to defend Tolkien from these claims such as: the themes of his novels, like
When we watch any military motion pictures or documentaries we perceive that youthful troopers are taught that they ought to be prepared to give up their life whenever for their country. What does self-sacrifice actually mean? It’s an ability to willingly give up something good for something better. Envision a soldier fighting in the war where he has to establish a hard decision which includes either to relinquish his life to spare thousand different lives or be narrow minded and let others bite

Saruman reveals that the Nazgûl, or Ringwraiths, have left Mordor to capture the Ring and kill whoever carries it; having already turned to Sauron's cause, he then imprisons Gandalf atop Orthanc.

their most immediate enemy is the wizard Saruman. Saruman is a very powerful wizard, rivaled only by Gandalf and Sauron himself. He was once head of the Wizard's Council, for his greatest strength was in his ability to command men and beasts. Even now, he wields that ability with impressive results. His army is vast and powerful, and led completely by the force of his hand. There is no tradition and no kingdom to guide the minions' swordsonly the will of Saruman.

Meanwhile, the hobbits Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) team up with the creature Gollum (Andy Serkis) in
With over ten battles, it is obvious that war plays an important part in The Lord of the Rings. However, even in this case, all roads lead to Augustine as he is credited for being the creator of what we know as the Just War Theory. Augustine was a fifteenth century theologian and Bishop of Hippo. His views on warfare and morals were especially imperative to the Christian development of the Just War Theory values. However, Tolkien also had fairly strong feelings about war, as having spent a part
