Saruman

When it comes to the battle between Gandalf the Gray and Albus Dumbledore, it’s a very hard choice for a sci-fi nerd like me to pick a favorite. With so many pros to both I had to debate a lot about which one was the best, but I would have to say that Mr. Gandalf, hands down, is the best and most helping wizard of all time. In the next few paragraphs I will explain to you the key points why I think Gandalf the Gray is the best choice. Character portrayal is a very important part to look at between both wizards, it’s who they portray and what kind of character each wizard is. Gandalf is portrayed as the mentor with a warm, sometimes scolding grandfatheresk demeanor. Though he has a soft side he bounces back between friend, advisor, and leader. Dumbledore is portrayed as a gentle man of stature. While he extenuated the more fatherly quality, Dumbledore was a much more secretive, exhausted, and uncertain wizard. He literally had to pluck memories from his own mind. Gandalf doesn’t hide the horrific facts of Frodo’s journey to save middle earth; he simply stands by his side and shows him the way. Dumbledore is very good at hiding the truth about the certain evils in and around Hogwarts. Knowing that Dumbledore is so secretive makes me unable to trust him as a character. Experience and bravery is another key point to debate. Gandalf spends his entire life on the road fighting endless evils to protect the world of Middle Earth; this makes him a lot more experienced in battles.…

Villains are a huge part of every great story, and should be celebrated. I have one particular villain in my mind. He comes from the great mind of J.R.R. Tolkien. He is a part of The Hobbit and the main antagonist in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I am talking about the great evil-doer Saruman. Saruman goes by many names in both The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. He is often called Saruman the white, but is also referred to as the White Wizard, Saruman of many colors and Saruman the wise. His…

In this paragraph we will be talking about Saruman’s power, jealousness towards Gandalf, and his downfall and betrayal of the Istari and Gandalf. In T.A. 2463 Saruman formed the White Council to stop the comeback of Sauron and Saruman was voted the Head of the White Council. Saruman was faithful to the cause up until about T.A. 4000 when Sauron persuade him to help him destroy Middle-Earth. Saruman was always faithful to the cause of stopping the cause when he and the other Istari arrived in…

Shakespeare is one of the greatest playwrights in history and in 1599 Shakespeare wrote Julius Caesar one of his greatest plays right next to Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. In this research paper the backgrounds of Julius Caesar and Brutus, two people from the play, will be talked about and how Brutus stabs his best friend Julius Caesar in the back. Also, a modern day Julius Caesar, Gandalf the Grey, and a modern day Brutus, Saruman the White, have been chosen so that their relationship, and…

are the way they are, how they became manipulated, and if they truly are evil or just severely messed up and confused. Grima Wormtongue is the kings advisor meant to aid him and counsel him in important matters but at some point before the beginning of Two Towers he is manipulated by Saruman to become his spy and slowly poison the mind of the king so that he loses the strength of the kingdom allowing Saruman to move forward with his plans to become all powerful. Wormtongue nearly…

The ring causes the militarization, which was the first threat over the middle earth. Sauron and Saruman rise their armies to fight against man, elves, and other inhabitants over the middle earth with a main target of controlling the middle earth. Sauron build an armies of orcs and men that fell under his control while Saruman build an army of wolf-riders and Uruk-Hai, a mixture of man and orcs according to Treebeard in his statement, “I wonder what he has done? Are they Men he has ruined, or…

influential character alone, but he leeches onto the power of Theoden and uses the force of betrayal to attempt his own personal gain. While Wormtongue’s ultimate loyalty remains to Saruman, he manipulates King Theoden to weaken the power of Edoras. While Wormtongue’s method of manipulation and strategic influence over Theoden gain him some temporary power as an advisor, his objective to take Ewoyn as a prize and help Saruman increase the influence of Saruman prove futile to his ineffective…

writing used in a theological sense to understand the Primary World through his sub-creations. In this essay, I shall discuss how the fall is portrayed in Tolkien’s work by surveying the falls of Melkor, Saruman, Boromir and Gollum. The first character that falls in the history and chronology of Middle Earth is Melkor. Melkor is described in The Silmarillion as an Ainur, one of the great beings created by Illuvatar to play the Great Music. Melkor was given a special gift over the other Ainur,…

Saruman’s betrayal. Saruman sees that Sauron is gaining power and believes that he is on the losing side, and instead of remaining loyal Saruman takes the route he sees as the most logical and joins the side with the most power. “On the other side, Saruman the good wizard who turned bad is malignant but also charming and intelligent…,” and this is why Saruman is able to get by with his deception for so long; he is able to convince Gandalf and Pfeffer 18 others that he is still loyal them (Smith…
