ready…and ever Wormtongue’s whispering was in your ears, poisoning your thoughts, chilling your heart, weakening your limbs, while others watched and could do nothing for your will was in his keeping”’ (510). This line best exemplifies the strategy that Wormtongue used to ifnluence the decisions made by Theoden as the leader. Gandalf exposes Wormtongue by saying, “’He was crafty: dulling men’s wariness, or working on their fears, as served the occasion. Do you not remember how eagerly he urged that no man should be spared on a wildgoose chase northward, when the immediate peril was westward”’ (510). Wormtongue also caused Theoden to question Eomer and forbidding him to fight the Orcs. The goal of Wormtongue was for the Orcs to arrive at Isengard. Womtongue’s final strategy is to be left in power of Edoras by Theoden. Wormtongue’s objectives are to be left in charge while Theoden goes to battle and to gain Eowyn as a prize. He says, “’One who knows your mind and honors your commands should be left in Edoras. Appoint a faithful steward”’ (508). He wishes to be left behind in order to completely take over Edoras while Theoden is away at battle. Because his true master is Saruman, Wormtongue will do anything to delay Theoden so Saruman can gain power. Gandalf explains, “’He [Wormtongue] is bold and cunning. Even now he plays a game with peril and wins a throw. Hours of my precious time he has wasted already…How long is it since Saruman bought you? What was the promised price?…

Once free he followed the fellowship but only sticking to the shadows again filling the persona of the creature of the night. The Balrog oh how I could rant about he isn't a dragon but that is not what this essay is about so I will keep it on a topic. It would be hard to convince anyone that he isn't a creature of the night he is a demonic presence that lives only in the dark mines of…

The differences between how the two parties handled certain situations is a big factor in how The Lord of the Rings comes out on top. It shows the character of each party. Thorin 's Company did not have the highest morals. However, the Fellowship is the embodiment of integrity. This is best put by Hawker (2013) "The Fellowship represents unity amongst the free people of Middle Earth. It builds on past friendships whilst simultaneously forming new ones that grow as the journey progresses."…

“Horsemen were jogging on the grass of Rohan, wolves poured from Isengard. From the sanctuaries of Harad boats of war put out to ocean, and out of the East Men were moving perpetually: swordsmen, spearmen, bowmen upon steeds, chariots of chieftains and loaded wains. All the force of the Dark Lord was in movement. At that point turning south again he viewed Minas Tirith. Far away it appeared, and lovely: white-walled, numerous towered, pleased and reasonable upon its mountain-seat; its bulwarks…
