Why didn’t they fly the Eagles to Mordor?
However, the reason the Ringbearer did not fly to Mordor by Eagle is fairly simple: the purpose of the Fellowship of the Ring and the linchpin of the entire strategy decided on in Rivendell was to destroy the Ring in a mission of secrecy. Eagles are, clearly, far more noticeable than Hobbits or other travelers on foot.
Why didn’t Gandalf use the Eagles?
Gandalf may have planned to take Frodo and the others not through the mountains, but to the eagles’ nest, where they could make the rest of the journey by air. This could explain why Gandalf was reluctant to pass through Moria, because that path took the Fellowship further south, away from the waiting eagles.
Why didn’t Gandalf warn the fellowship about the Balrog?
The movie implies that Gandalf knew there was a balrog in Moria and that is why he didn’t want to go that route, because they could possibly die and lose the ring. Gandalf was not aware of the massive orc presence in Moria so he could not warn them of that.
Who is better Frodo or Sam?
If there is one Hobbit who perhaps displays greater levels of courage and honor than Frodo, it is Samwise Gamgee. In fact, in many ways, Sam is the lead character in the novel. He is the only one who is not affected in any way by the power of the Ring.
Why did Gandalf let himself fall?
Gandalf dropped because the fellowship were looking like they were coming back into the open on bridge to try to rescue him. They would have been peppered with arrows and the chance of getting to him before he fell or was hit by an arrow himself was very low.
Did Gandalf know he would die?
I have no reference handy, but in the movie at least it was implied that Gandalf knew we would die if he went to Moria. It reflects his great courage that he went to Moria anyway, and that he stood against the Balrog to buy the others time, though he knew it was suicide.
What were Gandalf’s last words?
As he falls into the deep abyss, though, Gandalf’s official “last words” aren’t said in defiance to his enemies. Rather, they’re a cheeky command to his friends. As he falls he cries out, “Fly, you fools!”
Why did Gandalf kill the Balrog?
To weaken Sauron. Gandalf was in the business of depriving Sauron of evil allies as part of his mission to defeat him. Smaug was such a threat. The Balrog surely was another such threat, and needed to be taken care of. The Silmarillion has this to say about when Sauron first wore the Ring.
What is the demon that kills Gandalf?
The Balrogs, or Balrogath (“Balrog-kind”) were Maiar corrupted by Morgoth during the creation of Arda, who cloaked themselves in shadow and flame and carried whips and swords. Famed Balrogs include Gothmog, slain by Ecthelion, and Durin’s Bane, slain by Gandalf.
Where did Gandalf go when he died?
4 Answers. By dying when he did, Gandalf had not completed his task of helping to defeat Sauron. In addition, his comrade Saruman had betrayed his order. And so, he was sent back to Middle-earth as Gandalf the White by Eru, the highest power in the Middle-earth universe.
Where did Gandalf kill Balrog?
Zirakzigil
What’s the difference between Gandalf the GREY and Gandalf the White?
It was that resurrection that Gandalf transformed from Gandalf the Grey to Gandalf the White. By taking his title, Gandalf became the leader of the wizards and was given authority to punish Saruman. Another difference is that Gandalf the White could be harsher and applied his powers more readily.
