Galorme has just left Hobbiton.
Sting A great fall...

Erm this is sort of not a question, just something i would like to get people's opinion on.

Consider Saruman, or Curumo, or the beeing that later held these names. He was present at the making of the world, he sang together with Eru, the Allfather. He helped work Arda into a habbitable world with the Valar, he dwelt in Valinor in bliss, saw the rise and the fall of the Two Trees (no tower/tree analogies please). He was chosen from unnumbered Maia to be one of the Istari. He was considered the head of the White Council, and the greatest of the Istari.

Now compare this to the end of LoTR. He has no power, no strength, and resorts to this:

Quote:
"You have grown, Halfling. Yes, you have grown very much. You are wise, and cruel. You have robbed my revenge of sweetness, and now I must go hence in bitterness, in debt to your mercy. I hate it and you!"
Insulting a hobbit for sparing his life. He is a fallen Angel in totally. He falls from great goodness, to decidence and jelousy, to Evil Glory, to dark defiance, and finally to a beggar wondering the streets in search of nothing but death.
