GANDALF QUOTE TO FRODO MOVIE

Denethor, it seems to me, is more powerful in the books, a little less crazy, and not quite so corrupt (especially when first introduced) – all of which makes him a little bit more complex as a character.

GANDALF QUOTE TO FRODO MOVIE

The Mouth of Sauron was a great evil character, and I liked how Tolkien gave a little bit of background to him, which the movie did not do. And he’s too mysterious.Įowyn, Denethor, and the Mouth of Sauron are all characters that I also found more interesting in the books than in the movies.

I am glad they left him out of the movie – he would have been too difficult to portray. But my rolling days are ending, and now we shall have much to say to one another” (996). More likely he is simply one past his appointed season of action, as indicated by Gandalf’s words at the end of the book: “(Bombadil) is a moss-gatherer, and I have been a stone doomed to rolling. I can see how some interpret him as representing pacifism. And yet, despite all this power, he is presented as an almost silly character, always singing, and strangely absent from the war against Sauron. Also interesting is that he puts on the Ring without going invisible (133). Elrond calls him “oldest and fatherless” (265). He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless – before the Dark Lord came from Outside” (131). He calls himself “the Eldest,” and says of himself: “Tom was here before the river and the trees Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn…. The character that I found most interesting was Tom Bombadil. It also reminds me that while earthly accomplishments and victories can bring a measure of comfort, only in heaven will we experience the healing of our deepest wounds. It gives the story a kind of authenticity, and Frodo’s sacrifice a costliness that is beautiful even while it is sad. For some reason I love the fact that Frodo’s restlessness at the end of the book. I am wounded with knife, sting, and tooth, and a long burden. Though I may come to the Shire, it will not seem the same for I shall not be the same. He says after all is done, “there is no real going back. I also love – and this may seem strange – how Frodo never fully recovers from the Ring. My favorite scenes are the Council of Elrond (239-271) Gandalf at the Bridge of Khazad-Dum (330-331) Frodo looking into the mirror of Galadriel (363-366) Sam and Frodo’s battle with Shelob (720-730) Eowyn’s slaying of the Witch-King of Angmar (841) the dialogue with the Mouth of Sauron before the final battle (888-891) and Frodo’s extreme desperation just before destroying the Ring (937-938).
