Contributed by: Parmadur Grima is the only human character (that the audience is acquainted with, anyway) that actually turns bad. Wanting acceptance may have brought about part of this change, but he also changed because he wanted Eowyn – because he loved her (or believed he did) and did what he thought he had to…

It’s hard to believe, but the Council of Elrond has been up and running now for a year. Sometimes it seems like a very short time, and other times, it feels like a lifetime. In truth, I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I cooked up the idea for this site last Christmas.…

Legolas Learns his Lesson Written by Ringhilwen and Trignifty *Eomer walks over to Faramir* Eomer: Hello Faramir! Faramir: Hullo Eomer! Escaping the batty wife? Eomer: That woman is crazy. Faramir: Aye, and mine. Eomer: That is my sister you speak of! Faramir: Battiness must run in the family then. Eomer: Too true, you have a…

Contributed by: Figwit First of all, I do believe that Grima is in awe. The scene before him is most impressive. I also think that while watching this great army, he feels some of the power of it, of Saruman, flow through his veins. I think he lends it from the true owner of ten…

Contributed by: Toon Actually, I think I said originally that: “He sees something that a worm like him could never deserve, or even imagine, and he knows it… he is in awe.” I agree that Grima probably rationalized everything about the fall of Rohan, but he is a bad guy in LOTR. Bad guys in…

TTT Movie Analysis Contributors noted by article In a powerful scene from Peter Jackson’s latest installment, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Saruman and Grima Wormtongue discuss the fate of Rohan. Mention is made of an army of over 10,000 and when Grima remarks that there is no such force, he is proven…

Grima knew that Saruman was going to go after Rohan. He had to have known. To keep himself aligned with Saruman he also had to think that he was going to win. Why would you want to be king of a kingdom that’s going to fall? Plus, *if* he was king and Saruman moved in…
