One thing I wonder though about Grima in book and movie: how much power or influence did Saruman have over him? Was it in a way Saruman that was indirectly corrupting Theoden through Grima, or was it just Grima's own abilities?

Now that I've gotten Sister Golden Hair's off-topic response out of my system, this little peon poster will return to the topic: Wormtongue was nothing more than a Saruman lackey. Gandalf made it clear in the books and the movies that Grima was beneath his concern. He was simply a flea he had to brush out of the way. So jerseydevil's notion that Gandalf needed his staff in order to dispense with Wormtongue is highly debateable. |
