There is no ’embodiment’ of the Creator anywhere in this story or mythology. He, having lost any devotion to other persons or causes, was open to the domination of a superior will, to its threats, and to its display of power.” And moreover he had himself no right to the Orthanc-stone. His study of the Rings had caused this, for his pride believed that he could use them, or It, in defiance of any other will. In another note also published in that book, Tolkien wrote:Īn unplaced marginal note observes that Saruman’s integrity “had been undermined by purely personal pride and lust for the domination of his own will. And Curunír ‘Lân, Saruman the White, fell from his high errand, and becoming proud and impatient and enamoured of power sought to have his own will by force, and to oust Sauron but he was ensnared by that dark spirit, mightier than he.
Thus he got his name (which is in the tongue of Númenor of old, and signifies, it is said, “tender of beasts”). For Radagast, the fourth, became enamoured of the many beasts and birds that dwelt in Middle-earth, and forsook Elves and Men, and spent his days among the wild creatures. Indeed, of all the Istari, one only remained faithful, and he was the last-comer. In a margin note published in Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, Tolkien wrote of Saruman:
All he had to do - like Galadriel - was claim it for himself.
Sam’s temptation was to become the greatest of all gardeners, healing Middle-earth and making it beautiful. That was the vision the Ring showed her, although it was surely a false promise only designed to trick Galadriel into carrying the Ring back to Sauron (or at least to reveal its location to him). And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. …In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. For example, when Frodo offered the Ring to Galadriel she said: Tolkien provided a thoughtful answer in a few brief passages, two of them in The Lord of the Rings itself. So why did he want the One Ring? What seduced Saruman to “turn to the dark side”, as Star Wars might put it?
He therefore could not be tempted by it like Gandalf, Aragorn, Bombadil, Galadriel, and even Samwise Gamgee were tempted. Q: Why Did Saruman Want the One Ring for Himself?ĪNSWER: Saruman never came near the One Ring.
