Thanks for all the responses here. Let me pick up on just two points, for the sake of focus.HCIsland, you wouldn't care to elaborate, would you, on Saruman's shortcomings? And is this pity in Tolkien's book or is it something unique to Christopher Lee's interpretation of Saruman?Neferchoirwen, that's an interesting point that villains are depressed people. What are we to make of Frodo's despair, though?Bêthberry
