additional questions
I have just re-read the thread and I think it strange that we haven't discussed Sauron's terms. For me they are most puzzling.
1. Why would Sauron decide to propose terms at all - if he hoped to crush the Gondorians like fleas? Was he so shaken by the Pelennor defeat? Why give the Gondorians time to regroup and Aragorn or Gandalf time to master the Ring? 2. Why were the terms not-too-bad - almost acceptable I would say? 3. And what would Sauron do if the West accepted the terms? 4. Did Sauron indeed plan to give Isengard to the Mouth? And what about Saruman? |
