A Tribute To Evil - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

As people who intake The Lord of the Rings, we usually sit around praising the good guys & cursing the bad guys. I personally think that we should admire the eccentric qualities of the evil forces of Middle-earth. For example:
Grima Wormtongue is a slimy, disgusting, no-good fiend, but I think we should be able to admire the fact that he's sooo ugly he's probably never been mugged because he'd scare away his attackers.
Saruman is a low-down, dirty, traitorous dog, but if he weren't as smart as he is (or was) he would never have been able to use his orc slaves and palantir to build an Uruk-hai army! (Sure Sauron gave the orders, but if Saruman was dumb the Uruks never would have happened.)

So I'll leave the rest up to you guys. And remember: everyone has something admirable about them, even evil guys! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
