I was there

Continue Part I. The Fellowship of the Ring quotes from the film Rivendell, Many Encounters This wound will never fully heal. He will carry it for the rest of his life. (Gandalf) And yet, to come so far still bearing the ring, the Hobbit showed extraordinary resilience to his evil. (Elrond) It's a burden he should never have carried. We can't ask for more Frodo. (Gandalf) Gandalf! The ring can't stay here. This danger belongs to all of Middle-earth. Now they have to decide how to end it. The time of the elves is over. My people are leaving these shores. Who are you going to look at when we leave? Dwarves? They hide in the mountains in search of wealth. They don't care about other people's troubles. (Elrond) It's in men that we have to accommodate our hope. (Gandalf) Men? Men are weak. [...] It is because of men the ring survives. I was there. I was there 3,000 years ago... when Isildur took the Ring. I was there the day the power of men failed. I brought Isildur to the heart of Mount Doom, where the Ring was forged, in one place where it could have been destroyed! It was supposed to end that day, but evil was allowed to endure. Isildur kept the ring. The line of kings is broken. There is no power left in the human world. They are scattered, divided, without a leader. (Elrond) There is someone who could unite them, one who could bring back the throne of Gondor. (Gandalf) He turned down that path a long time ago. He chose exile. (Elrond) Why are you afraid of the past? You are The heir to Isildur, not Isildur himself. You have nothing to do with his fate. (Arwen) The same blood flows in my veins. Same weakness. (Aragorn) Your time will come. You will face the same evil and you will defeat it. The shadow does not hold power yet Aragorn, not above you, nor above me . (Arwen) I would rather share one life with you and then face all the ages of this world alone. I choose death.

GandalfTolkien characterFirst appearanceThe Hobbit (1937)The last appearance Of Certain Tales (1980)In-universe informationAliasesesSee NamesRaceMaiaAffiliationCompany of RingWeapon Glamdring Naria Wizard of Staff Gandalf is the protagonist of the novels J. R. R. Tolkien Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. He is a magician, one of the Order of Ita, and the leader and mentor of the Brotherhood of the Ring. Tolkien took the name Gandalf from the Old Orm Dvergatal Catalogue in Vulusp. As a wizard and bearer of the Ring of Power, Gandalf has great power but works mostly by encouraging and persuading. He outlines how Gray, with great knowledge, and travel travel always focused on the mission to fight the Dark Lord Sauron. He is associated with fire, his Ring of The Narya, the Ring of Fire, and he both charms in fireworks to entertain the Hobbits of the Shire, and in great need uses fire as a weapon. As one of Mayar he is an immortal spirit, but being in the physical body of Middle-earth, he can be killed in battle as he is a balrog from Moriah. He is sent back to Middle-earth to complete his mission, now as Gandalf White and leader Ofi. Tolkien once described Gandalf as an angel embodied; later, he and other scholars compared Gandalf to the Scandinavian god Odin in his Stranger look. Others described Gandalf as a guide who helps the main character, comparable to the Kumov Sybil, who helped Aeneus in Virgil's Andeida, or Virgil himself in Dante's Inferno; and as a Christ-figure, a prophet. The names Certh rune No. 19 G, used by Gandalf as a personal sign or seal of Tolkien's Etymology, were given the name Gandalf from Gandolph, a dwarf in Dvergatal Wusp, a list of dwarf names. In old Scandinavian, the name means elf staff. This is reflected in his name Targyun, which says what the Human Person means in Khozdul, one of Tolkien's invented languages. (T1) In the universe, the names of Gandalf are given several names and nicknames in Tolkien's writings. Gandalf himself says: Many of them are my names in many countries. Mitrandir among the elves, Tarcon for dwarves, Olerin I was in his youth in the West, which is forgotten, in the south of Inkanus, in North Gandalf; To the East I go not. (T2) In an early handwritten version of The Hobbit, it is called Bladortin. Each Wizard is distinguished by the color of his cloak. For most of its manifestation as a master, Gandalf's cloak is gray, hence the names of Gandalf Gray, and Greyhame. Mitrandir is a name in Sindarin meaning Grey Pilgrim or Grey Wanderer. In the middle of The Lord of the Rings, Gandalf became head of the Order of the Wizards and renamed Gandalf White. This change of status (and clothing) introduces another name for the master: the White Rider. However, the characters who say Ndesh still refer to him as Mitrandir. At times in The Lord of the Rings, other characters address Gandalf's disparaging nicknames: Stormcrow, L'thspell (Ill-news in old English), and Grey Fool. (T1) Tolkien's characteristics describe Gandalf as the last of the wizards to appear on Middle-earth, one who seems least, less tall than the others, and looks older, gray-haired and gray-haired, and leaning on smaller. (T1) However, Elf Thurdan, who met him upon arrival, nevertheless considered him the greatest spirit and the wisest and gave him the Elven Ring of Power called the Narya, the Ring of Fire containing a red stone for his help and comfort. Tolkien clearly binds Gandalf with the fire element later in essay: Warm and greedy was his spirit (and he was reinforced by the ring of Narya) because he was the enemy of Sauron, confronting a fire that devours and wastes with fire that ignites, and succours in wanhope and distress; but his joy, and his rapid anger, were veiled in gray clothing as ashes, so that only those who knew him well saw the flame that was inside. Cheerful he might be, and kind to the young and simple, but quickly at times sharp speech and a rebuke of stupidity; but he was not proud and did not aspire to power or praise... He mostly hiked relentlessly, relying on a walk, and so he was called The Elf of the Sticks among the people of North Gandalf. For they considered him (albeit by mistake) the elven kind, for he occasionally performed miracles among them, loving especially the beauty of fire; and yet such wonders he twool mostly for fun and delight, and did not wish that anyone should keep him at bay or take his advice out of fear. ... However, he said that at the end of the task for which he came he was badly hurt, and was killed, and being sent back from death for a short time was dressed then in white, and became a shining flame (still veiled still to save in great need). (T1) A fictional biography of Valinor in Valinore, Gandalf was called Ellerin. (T1) He was one of the majors of Valinor, in particular the people of Vala Manwe; and, as they say, the wisest of the mayar. He was also closely associated with two other Valar: Irmo, in the gardens of which he lived, and Nienne, the patron saint of mercy, who gave him custody. When Valar decided to send the Order of the Wizards (Historic) across the Great Sea to Middle-earth to counsel and assist all who opposed Sauron, Olerin was offered Manva. Olerin initially pleaded for an apology because he was afraid of Sauron and did not have the strength to confront him, but Manveh replied that this was all the more reason for him to leave. As one of the Mayars, Gandalf was not a mortal, but an angelic being adjacent to the human form. As one of these spirits, Olerin was in the service of the Creator (Era Ilyuvatar) and the Secret Fire of the Creator. Together with another Mayar, who entered the world as the Five Wizards, he took the concrete form of an elderly old man as a sign of his humility. The role of the wizards was to advise and advise, but never to try to match Sauron's power with his own, and we hope that the kings and lords of Middle-earth will be more receptive to the advice of the humble old man than the more glorious form that gives them direct commands. (T1) The Middle-earth of Ithi arrived in Middle-earth separately, at the beginning of the third century; Gandalf was the last to leave for Mitlond Harbour. He seemed the oldest and least tall, but Cordan Shipwright felt he was the greatest in their first meeting in Havana, and gave him Narya, the Ring of Fire. Saruman chief Wizard, learned of the gift and resented it. Gandalf hid the ring well, and it was not widely known until he left with other ring bearers at the end of the third century that he, not Kyrdan, was the holder of the third elven ring. Gandalf's relationship with Saruman, the head of the Order, was tense. The Wizards were brought in to help humans, elves, and dwarves, but only through advice; it was forbidden to use force to dominate them - an injunction that Saruman increasingly ignored. (T1) The White Council of Gandalf suspected early on that the evil presence, the necromancier Dol Guldur, was not Nazgul, but Sauron himself. He went to Dol Gouldur to find out the truth, but necromancant retired before him. The necromanc returned to Dol Guldur with greater force, and the White Council was formed in response. (T3) Galadriel hoped that Gandalf would lead the Council, but he refused, refusing to be bound by anyone other than Valar, who sent him. Saruman was chosen instead as the most knowledgeable of Sauron's work in the Second Century. (T4) (T1) Gandalf returned to Dol Gouldur at great danger and learned that Necromant indeed Sauron is back. The following year, the White Council was summoned, and Gandalf called for Sauron's manufacture. (T3) Saruman, however, assured the Council that Sauron's apparent attempts to find one ring would fail, since the Ring had long since been moved by the Andruin River to the sea; and this issue was allowed to rest. But at this time Saruman himself began to actively search for the Ring near Gladden Field, where Isildur was killed. (T4) (T1) In search of Erebor, Erebor's quest in unfinished tales tells the story behind the Hobbit. It tells the story of a chance encounter between Gandalf and Torin Okenshield, the dwarf king in exile, at the Prancing Pony Hotel in Bree. Gandalf for some time foresaw the coming war with Sauron and knew that the North is particularly vulnerable. If Rivendell is attacked, the dragon Smaug can cause great destruction. He convinced Torin that he could help him regain his lost territory from Smaug, so the search was born. Hobbit Gandalf meets Bilbo at the opening of The Hobbit. He arranges a tea party, to which he also invites thirteen dwarves and thus organizes a traveling group central to the novel's narrative. Gandalf contributes to the map and key to Erebor to help the quest. (T 5) On this quest, Gandalf finds his sword, Glamdring, in the troll's treasure trove. Elrond informs them that the sword was made in Gondola, the city where Elrond's father lived as a child before it was destroyed. (T6) After escaping from the Misty Mountains, haunted by goblins and warts, the party took the Great Eagles to safety. (T 7) Gandalf then coaxes Beorn for the house and giving the company journey through Mirkwood. Gandalf leaves the company before they enter Mirkwood, saying he had urgent business. (T 8) He reappears, however, in front of the walls of Erebor, disguised as an old man, showing himself when it seems that the People of Esgarot and the Elves of Mirkwood will fight with Thorin and the dwarves for the treasure of Smaug. The battle of the five armies comes when the hosts of goblins and vardy attack all three sides. (T 9) After the battle, Gandalf accompanies Bilbo back to the Shire, showing in Rivendell what his urgent case was: Gandalf once again called on the Council to evict Sauron, as it is clear that Sauron does not require that One Ring continue to attract evil to Mirkwood. (T 10) The Council then advanced its power and expelled Sauron from Dol Guldur. Sauron, however, foresaw this and leaves as a feint, only to reappear in Mordor. (T 11) The Lord of the Rings Gandalf Gray As explained in the Fellowship of the Ring, Gandalf spends years between The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings traveling Middle-earth in search of information about Sauron's rebirth and the mysterious ring of Bilbo Baggins, spurred especially by Bilbo's initial misleading story of how he got it as the present from Gollum. During this period, he became friends with Aragorn and at first began to suspect Saruman. He spends as much time as possible in the Shire, strengthening his friendship with Bilbo and Frodo, Bilbo's orphaned cousin and adoptive heir. (T 11) Gandalf returns to the Shire for Bilbo's Eleven First birthday party (111th), bringing a lot of fireworks. After Bilbo, like a prank on his guests, puts on a ring and disappears, Gandalf urges his old friend to leave Frodo's ring as they planned. Bilbo becomes hostile and accuses Gandalf of trying to steal the ring. Alarmed, Gandalf impresses Bilbo with the stupidity of this accusation. Coming to his senses, Bilbo admits that the ring was bothering him, and leaves him behind for Frodo as he heads to Rivendell. (T 12) For the next 17 years, Gandalf travels a lot in search of answers in the ring. He finds answers in the Isildur scroll, in the archives of Minas Tirith. He also wants to interrogate Gollum, who has been in the ring for many years. Gandalf searches long and hard for Gollum, and often always assists Aragorn. Aragorna eventually manages to find Gollum. Gandalf asked Gollum, threatening him with fire when he was unwilling to speak. Gandalf learns that Sauron forced Gollum under torture in Barad-dur to tell what he knows about the ring. This reinforces Gandalf's growing suspicion that Bilbo's ring is One Ring. (T 11) Returning to the Shire, Gandalf confirms his suspicions by throwing the Ring into the hearth of Frodo's fire and reading the inscription that appears on the surface of the Ring. He says Frodo. history of the Ring, and encourages him to take him to Rivendell, because he will be in serious danger if he stays in the Shire. Gandalf says he will try to return to Frodo's 50th birthday party to accompany him on the road; and that in the meantime Frodo must organize to go away quietly, as Sauron's servants will seek him out. (T 13) Outside the Shire, Gandalf meets Radagast Brown, another wizard who brings the news that Nazbul had driven from Mordor, and Saruman's request that Gandalf come to Isengard. Gandalf leaves Frodo's letter (calling for his immediate departure) with Barliman Butterbourg at a hotel in Bree, and heads to Isengard. There Saruman reveals his true intentions, urging Gandalf to help him get the Ring for his own use. Gandalf refuses, and Saruman imprisons him at the top of his tower. In the end, Gandalfa was saved by Gwaihir Eagle. (T 11) Gweihir puts Gandalf in Rohan, where Gandalf turns to King Theoden for a horse. Theoden, under the evil influence of Graham Vormtonga, Saruman's spy and servant, tells Gandalf to take any horse he pleases but quickly leave. It is then that Gandalf meets the great horse Shadowfax, one of the mearas who will be his grief and companion for much of the Lord of the Rings. Gandalf then rides hard Shire, but does not reach him until Frodo has already set off. Knowing that Frodo and his companions will be sent to Rivendell, Gandalf makes his own way there. He learns in Bree that the Hobbits fell in love with Aragorn. He collides with Naszul on Weathertop, but runs away after an all-night battle, drawing four of them north. (T 11) Frodo, Aragorn and Company face the remaining five at Weathertop a few nights later. (T 14) Gandalf reaches Rivendell shortly before Frodo arrives. (T 11) In Rivendell, Gandalf helps Elrond drive out Nzgules by chasing Frodo, and plays a big role in the next council as the only person who knows the entire history of the Ring. It also shows that Saruman betrayed them and is on the same side as Sauron. When it is decided that the Ring should be destroyed, Gandalf voluntarily accompanies Frodo, now the bearer of the Ring, in his quest. He also persuades Elrond to allow cousins Frodo Merry and Pippin to join the Scholarship. (T 11) Balrog made it to the bridge. Gandalf stood in the middle of the span, leaning on the chase in his left hand, but in the other hand Glamdring gleamed, cold and white. His enemy stopped again, facing him, and the shadow of it extended his hand like two huge wings. He lifted the whip, and the straps were whining and cracking. The fire came from the nostrils. But Gandalf stood firm. You can't get through, he said. The orcs stopped, and the dead silence fell. I am the servant of the Secret Fire, the owner of the flame Anor. You can't get through. The dark fire won't take advantage of you, Udon flame. Come back Shadow! You Are You Pass. J. R. R. Tolkien, Brotherhood of the Ring Taking led the scholarships (composed of nine representatives of the free peoples of Middle-earth, set against nine riders), Gandalf and Aragorn lead the Hobbits and their comrades to the south. (T 15) After a failed attempt to cross Mount Karadhras in winter due to harsh conditions, they cross under the mountains through the Moria mines, although only Gimli dwarf is delighted with this route. In Moria, they discover that the dwarf colony, created there earlier by Balin, was destroyed by orcs. The Brotherhood fights the orcs and trolls of Moria and escapes from them. (T 16) On the Hazad Dam Bridge, they encounter the Durin Bath, a formidable Balrog from ancient times. Gandalf collides with Balrogh to allow the others to escape. After a short exchange of blows Gandalf his staff breaks the bridge under Balrog. When Balrog falls, he wraps the whip on Gandalf's legs, dragging him over the edge. Gandalf falls into the abyss, shouting: Fly, fools!. (T 17) Gandalf and Balrog enter a deep underground lake in the underworld of Moria. Gandalf chases Balrog through the tunnels for eight days until they climb to the top of the city. Here they fight two days and nights. Eventually, Balrog is defeated and thrown to the mountainside. Gandalf also dies soon after, and his body lies at its peak, while his spirit travels from thought and time. (T 18) Gandalf White Gandalf goes back as Gandalf White and returns to life at the top of the mountain. Gwaihir, the lord of the eagles, carries him to Lotlerien, where he is healed from his injuries and is dressed again in Galadriel's white robes. He goes to the Fangorne forest, where he meets Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas (who track Merry and Pippin). They take him for Saruman, but he stops their attacks and reveals himself. (T 18) They go to Rohan, where Gandalf discovers that King Theoden has been further weakened by Theoden's influence. He breaks Wormtongue's control over Theoden, and convinces the king to join the fight against Sauron. (T 19) Then Gandalf goes to collect Erkenbrand from Westfold and his warriors to help Theoden in the upcoming battle with Saruman. Gandalf arrives just in time to destroy Saruman's attack on Deep Helm. (T 20) After the Battle of Helm, Gandalf and the King travel to Isengard, who at the same time was attacked and conquered by Treebeard and Ents, along with Merry and Pippin. (T 21) Gandalf breaks Saruman's pursuit and expels him from the White Council and the Order of the Wizards. Gandalf then takes Saruman's place as the head of both. Wormtongue makes an attempt to kill Gandalf or Saruman with palant'r Ortanka, but misses both. Pippin pulls out the tent, but Gandalf quickly takes it, passing the aragorna. (T 22) After the group leaves Isengard, Pippin takes the tent from the sleeping Gandalf, looks into it and comes face to face with Sauron himself. Gandalf then takes the punished Pippin with him to Minas Tirith to prevent the young hobbit from getting out of further trouble. (T 23) Gandalf arrives in time to help put the defense in Minas Tirith. His presence angers Denethor, The Manager of Gondor; but when his son Faramir is badly wounded in battle, Denethor plunges into despair and madness. Together with Prince Imrahil Gandalf leads the defenders during the siege of the city. When Mordor's forces break the main gate, Gandalf alone on Shadowfax confronts Lord Nazgol. At this point Rohirrim arrived, forcing Nabzbul to retreat and fight with them. Gandalf must save Faramir from Denethor, who desperately seeks to burn himself and his son on a buried fire. (T 24) That's, so my advice, Gandalf said. We don't have a ring. In wisdom or great stupidity he was sent to be destroyed so that he would not destroy us. Without it, we cannot defeat Sauron's power by force. But we must at all costs keep his eye from his true danger ... We must call on his hidden power to devastate his land... We have to make ourselves a bait, although his jaws should close on us ... We must go with our eyes open into this trap, with courage but little hope for ourselves. For, my lord, it may well prove that we ourselves will perish in the black battle away from the living lands; so even if Barad-gift is thrown down, we will not live to see a new era. But it is, I believe, our duty. J.R. R. Tolkien, The Return of King Aragorn, and Gandalf are conducting the final campaign against Sauron's forces at the Black Gate, trying to divert the dark lord's attention from Frodo and Sam, who at this point scale Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring. In the parley before the battle, Gandalf and other Western leaders meet with chief lieutenant Sauron, who shows them Frodo's T-shirt and other items from Hobbit gear. Gandalf rejects the terms of Mordor's surrender, and Western forces faced the full power of Sauron's armies until the Ring was destroyed on Mount Douma. (T 25) Then Gandalf leads the Eagles to rescue Frodo and Sam from the erupting mountain. (T 26) After the war, Gandalf crowns Aragorn in honor of King Elessar and helps him find the white Gondor white tree seedlings. (T 27) He accompanies the Hobbits back to the boundaries of the Shire before leaving to visit Tom Bombadil. (T 28) Two years later, Gandalf is leaving Middle-earth for good. He boards the Ringbearers in Grey Havana and sets sail to return across the sea to the Immortal Lands; with him his friends Frodo, Bilbo, Galadriel, and Elrond, and his horse Shadowfax. (T 29) The concept and creation of The Der Berggeist by Joseph Madelener Appearance of Tolkien Humphrey Carpenter says Tolkien owned a postcard called Der Berggeist, which he called Gandalf's origins. It shows a white-bearded man in a large hat and cloak sitting among boulders in a mountain forest. Carpenter said Tolkien recalled buying a postcard while on vacation in Switzerland in 1911. Manfred zimmerman, however, discovered that the painting was by German artist Joseph Madeleine and dates back to the mid-1920s. Carpenter acknowledged that Tolkien was probably wrong about the origin of the postcard. An additional influence may have been Vjainamenen, an old and wise demigon and the central character of Finnish folklore and the national epic Kalevala by Elias Llennroth. During the early projects and before the first edition of The Hobbit, Bladortin/Gandalf is described as a little old man who ebbs from the dwarf, but not from full human growth, which was later described in The Lord of the Rings. Even in the Lord of the Rings, Gandalf was not tall; shorter than, for example, Elrond or other masters. (T 31) The name When writing The Hobbit in the early 1930s Tolkien gave the name Gandalf the leader of the dwarves, a character later called Torin Oakenshield. The name is taken from the same source as all other dwarf names (except Balin) in The Hobbit: The Gnomes Catalogue in Vulusp. The old Scandinavian name Gandalfr includes the words gandr, meaning wanda, staff or (especially in connections) magic and elf alfr. Gandalf's name is at least one more place in The Scandinavian Myth, in the semi-heimskringle, which briefly describes Gandalf Alfgeirsson, the legendary Norwegian king from eastern Norway and a rival to Halfdan the Black. Gandalf is also the name of the Scandinavian sea king in Henrik Ibsen's second play, The Mound. The name Gandolf takes place as a character in William Morris' 1896 fantasy novel The Well at the End of the World, along with the silver fax horse adapted by Tolkien as Gandalf's horse Shadowfax. Morris's book, inspired by Scandinavian myth, is written in a pseudo-century landscape; it had a profound impact on Tolkien. The Wizard who became Gandalf was originally called Bladortin. Tolkien regretted his special use of Old-Fashioned names, referring to the rabble of dwarves called the Eddaiks, ... invented in an hour of downtime in 1937. (T 32) But the decision to use old-normal names began to have far-reaching implications in the composition of the Lord of the Rings; in 1942, Tolkien decided that the work should be a supposed translation from the fictional language of Westron, and in English translation old-fashioned names were taken to represent the names in Dale's language. Gandalf, in this setting, is thus a representation in English (anglicised from the old Scandinavian) named Gnomes Erebor gave Olerin in they used externally in their daily affairs, while Tarkun is an (untranslated) name, presumably of the same meaning that the dwarves gave him in his native hozdul language. (T 33) Guide One, The Wanderer of Georg von Rosen, 1886 As One in the guise of The Wanderer - an old man with a long white beard, a wide-brimmed hat and a shot: Nidoart 2013, the role and importance of Gandalf were substantially increased in the concept of the Lord of the Rings, and in a 1954 letter Tolkien calls Gandalf an angel. (T 34) In the same letter, Tolkien claims that he was given the old man's form to limit his strength on Earth. And in 1965 and 1971, Tolkien again calls Gandalf an angelic being. (T 35) In a 1946 letter, Tolkien stated that he considered Gandalf one wanderer. Other commentators have also compared Gandalf to the Scandinavian god Odin in his Stranger look - an old man with one eye, a long white beard, a wide-brimmed hat and a steal, or compared him to Merlin from Arthurian legend or the Jungian archetype of The Wise Old Man.

Nelson described Gandalf as a guide that. helps a big character in a journey or quest. to unusual and remote places. He noted that in both the Brotherhood of the Ring and the Hobbit, Tolkien represents Gandalf in these terms. Immediately after the council Elrond Gandalf says the Scholarship: Someone said that the party would need intelligence. He was right. I think I'll go with you. Nelson notes the similarities between this and Torin's statement in The Hobbit: to begin our long journey, a journey from which some of us, or perhaps all of us (except our friend and counselor, the brilliant master Gandalf) can never return. An earlier guide figure: Virgil guides Dante around the Eighth Circle of Hell to Dante's Hell, Canto 18. The painting by Sandro Botticelli, c. 1480 Nelson cites as examples the figure of the guide Cumaean Sibyl, who helped Aeneas on his way through the underworld in the tale of Virgil Aeneid, and then Virgil himself in Dante's Hell, guide, encouragement, and physically helps Dante as he through hell. In English literature, Nelson notes, Thomas Mallory's Morte d'Arthur has a master, Merlin, who teaches and guides Arthur to begin his travels. Given these precedents, Nelson notes, it is not surprising that Tolkien should use the figure of the guide, assigning him, as well as these predecessors, power, wisdom, experience and practical knowledge, as well as aware of their own limitations and rating in the order of the great. Other characters who act as wise and good guides include Tom Bombadil, Elrond, Aragorn, Galadriel, whom he calls perhaps the most powerful of the guides, as well as Faramir. Nelson writes that there is no less historical precedent for wicked guides, such as Edmund Spencer's evil palmers in The Fairy queen, and suggests that Gollum acts as an evil guide, a contrast to Gandalf, in The Lord of the Rings. He also notes that both Gollum and Gandalf are servants of one, the Era of Ilyuvatar, in the struggle against the forces of darkness, and ironically all of them, good and bad, are necessary for the success of the quest. Christ-figure Critic Anne C. Petty, writing about Allegory in the encyclopedia J.R.R. Tolkien discusses the death of Gandalf and his appearance in Christian terms. She quotes Michael W. Maher, S.Jay: Who could not think of Gandalf's descent into the pits of Moriah and his return, dressed in white, as a motive for the resurrection of death? She immediately notes, however, that such a narrow allegorical interpretation limits the reader's imagination, requiring a single meaning for each character and event. Analysis by Peter Kreeft Christ-figures in The Lord of the Rings 19 Christ-like attribute of Gandalf Frodo Aragorn sacrificial death, Resurrection dies in Moriah, reborn as Gandalf White Symbolically dies under Morgul-knife, healed Elrond 21 takes the path of the dead, appears in the Gondor Savior All three help to save Middle-earth from Sauron Triple Messianic Symbolism Prophet Priest King Philosopher Peter Crift, as Tolkien Roman Catholic, notes that there is no complete , the concrete, visible figures of Christ in the Lord of the Rings are comparable to Aslan in the Chronicles of C.S. Lewis Narnia series. However, Crift and Gene Shoss identified reflections of the figure of Jesus Christ in the three main characters of the Lord of the Rings: Gandalf, Frodo and Aragorn. While Scaus found in them the facets of The Personality of Jesus, Crift wrote that they illustrate the Old Testament three times the messianic symbolism of the prophet (Gandalf), the priest (Frodo) and the king (Aragorn). An adaptation of Gandalf depicted in Ralph Bakshi's animated film In Dramatization on BBC Radio, Gandalf was voiced by Norman Shelley in The Lord of the Rings (1955-1956), by Tsaron Carwick in The Hobbit (1968), Bernard Maze in The Lord of the Rings (1979). Sir Michael Hordern in The Lord of the Rings (1981). John Huston voiced Gandalf in the animated films The Hobbit (1977) and The Return of the King (1980), produced by Rankin/Bass. William Squire voiced Gandalf in the animated film The Lord of the Rings (1978) directed by Ralph Bakshi. Ivan I. Krasko played Gandalf in the Soviet film adaptation of The Hobbit (1985). Gandalf was portrayed by Vesa Vierikko in the Finnish television series Hobbitit (1993). Ian McKellen as Gandalf White in 's Two Towers (2002), Ian McKellen played Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings (2001-2003), directed by Peter Jackson, after Sean Connery and Patrick Stewart recused him. According to Jackson, McKellen based his performance as Gandalf on toLkien himself: We listened to Tolkien's audio recordings while reading excerpts from The Lord of the Rings. We watched several BBC interviews with him - there are several interviews with Tolkien, and Ian based his speech on tolkien's impersonation. He's literally based on Tolkien. He sounds the same, he uses speech patterns and his manners are born out of the same roughness from Tolkien's frames. Thus, Tolkien recognizes himself as Ian. McKellen was widely recognized for his role as Gandalf, particularly in the film The Ring Brotherhood, for which he received the Screen Actors Guild Award and an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Empire named Gandalf, as McKellen, the 30th greatest movie host of all time. He later starred in the The Hobbit series (2012-2014), claiming that he liked playing Gandalf Gray more than Gandalf White. McKellen also provided Gandalf's voice for video games based on films including The Third Century and The Return of the King. Charles Pickard played Gandalf in the 1999 production of Two Towers at Chicago's Lifeline Theatre. Brent Carver played Gandalf in the 2006 musical production of The Lord of the Rings, which opened in Toronto. Gandalf appears in the film Lego, voiced by Todd Hanson. Gandalf is the main character in the video game Lego Dimensions and voiced by Tom Kane.
