Entwives if i remember correctly migrated over the anduin from the Old Forest to the Brown lands where they grew apples and such and teached their agriculture skills to the men living there. I guess they lived there for a long time and after Sauron burned the Brownlands at 2nd age to stop/halt advance of Last Alliance. I think that Entwives either stayed with their gardens till the end defending them and perishing, or some took for agricultural work by sauron

One interesting point. Sam Gamgee recalls the story of a man seeing a tree man that is an elm. Interestingly, in Norse mythology, the first two humans Ask (man) and Embla (woman) when translated are ash and elm. This could be a hint made by Tolkien that the tree man seen was actually an ent wife.

I strongly remember the line "But you're part of this world!" I was a real introvert as a teen and this really made me realize I can't pretend I'm not part of things. Also later when Mery tries to convince Pippin to just leave it he reminds him that even the Shire is part of the world and sooner or later the shire will burn if Sauron wins. You can't just retreat and shut off the world.

Well it did, but it didn't last very long. I realize now what I am missing out on as a young man, but I don't know how to get out and see the rest of the world without the proper experience of driving.

Tolkien went out of his way to say that the Entwives were "lost." He never says "dead." And when Merry and Pippin describe The Shire, Fangorn is intrigued to say the least. Tolkien never says anything but he hints very subtly that, of all places, the Entwives just might be living in the area around The Shire.

This makes sense, and it lines up a great deal with how Tolkien lamented the state of the world when he was writing and even till today. His thoughts on the environment are important. In the Old Forest and in Fangorn Forest, they are painted as if holdouts of a world untouched and somewhat how they're meant to be.

Maybe one of them helped the Hobbits discover pipe-weed? That sounds like something they would do, but then also tell them not to tell anyone about them. Of course there was a bad, long winter when Gandalf saw the Hobbits in extremis. If there were Ent-Wives hiding near the Shire, it might have been beyond them to help the Hobbits much or Gandalf would have seen them.

I'm not one to get emotional when it comes to fantasy but you've almost gotten me to shed a few tears with how much passion you put into your videos about Tolkien's world and it shows.

I always thought the surviving Entwives fled to the Old Forest. Treebeard says he thinks they would have liked the Hobbit's country. Maybe what happened was so disturbing to them that they just fled till they had mountains between them and it. I'm not sure of the time line but if Arnor had already fallen they could have moved in quietly and no one would have known. It's always bugged me a little that Merry or Pippin never mention the Old Forest to Treebeard so I don't think he ever thinks to go look there.

Thanks for this; to me, the Ents are one of the most intriguing aspects to LOTR. (Treebeard pulling down part of a wall after the siege of Isengard simply to amuse himself is still a favorite moment) My only regret about the movie depiction was how they acted more dumb than slow to react. Plus the Hobbits description of truly angry Ents being terrifying, was something I’d hoped to see. Ah well, that’s why there’s always the books. 🌳

I feel that it's very hard to convey unhurried intelligence as opposed to mere stupidity, especially when "quick" is one of our synonyms for "intelligent". To capture it, I think that you'd have to show the ents somehow coming to thorough, exhaustive conclusions through contemplation, and frankly, Tolkien never gave them such opportunity: Saruman's mischief was too obvious to be revealed through some kind of mental adroitness (and that kind of cleverness is anti-thematic to Tolkien's aesthetic anyways).

@@Duiker36 'Quick' is not a synonym for 'intelligence', Michael. 'Quick witted' yes, or 'quick on the uptake' but not in and of itself.

@@Duiker36 I agree it would have been difficult to convey the full depth and breadth of Treebeard's knowledge and intelligence, however I truly didn't appreciate that the Entmoot in the film ended with, "Welp, we gonna do nothing" only to reverse that after Treebeard is duped (and quite easily, I might add) into taking Pippen and Merry to Isengard and seeing the devastation of Saruman firsthand. Yes it gives the Hobbits agency and makes them the heroes of the scene, but their coming to Fangorn was to be a small pebble that began a landslide (or words to that effect), versus slow-witted tree-people gawk and hoot for whatever interminable length of the movie Entmoot (yes I'm ranting a little).

O rowan fair, upon your hair how white the blossom lay! O rowan mine, I saw you shine upon a summer's day, Your rind so bright, your leaves so light, your voice so cool and soft: Upon your head how golden-red the crown you bore aloft! O rowan dead, upon your head your hair is dry and grey; Your crown is spilled, your voice is stilled for ever and a day. O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!" (J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Two Towers").

As I am sure Tolkien intended, I feel great pity for Treebeard. Pity not just for the loss of their entwives, nor just for their inability to further propagate. But pity for the way the world changed, discounting everything the ents were created to protect and pity for the fading usefulness over creatures so old and so wise. I am not that old, but old enough to see how this is the story of all of us who do grow old - or at least the story we fear will become ours.

I wonder why the Ents didn't fight in the War of the Elves and Sauron or against the Numenor colonists for excessively cutting down their trees. while I can accept they probably didn't have the numbers to fight a frontal battle they could have easily fought a guerilla campaign attacking patrols, raiding parties and isolated settlements, after all they still had the Entwives so they didn't have to worry about casualties as much.

The Ents likely discussed it but hadn't reached a conclusion, without the benefit of halflings manipulating them into being first hand witnesses

@@RobBCactive That's only in the movies in the books many Ents such as Treebeard already wanted to got to war and the Ents decided without the Hobbits getting too involved in the discussion

Out of all the races of Middle Earth it's the Ents I find the most beautiful yet melancholy at the same time. To be completely at one with nature yet cut off from the cycle of life in the form of children. It's heartbreaking.

I've always loved the fact that in the movies, John Rhys-Davies (I may have misspelled that) appeared as both Gimli and Treebeard, considering ENTs and Dwarves aren't exactly each other's biggest fans

Do a travels video with the 9 nazgul! That would be so sweet. I was reading Unfinished Tales and found lots of information on where the 9 were during the fellowship of the ring that most people don’t know about. That video would do really well!

You mention how Sam tells of a cousin seeing something that could be an Ent on the North Downs. What about the story told as the hobbits enter the Old Wood of how the trees there seem to move and change the trails. Also about how the trees attacked the fence? That sounds like Huorns or ents, especially when you consider Old Man Willow

In one of the AiME campaigns, you find an entwife named Witherfingers in the bad lands. One in our party asked her why she doesn't go somewhere green, why does she stay there, and our loremaster made the mistake of improvising, "Green?....what is green? I cannot remember green..." And it tugged on my heartstrings so much, I swore an oath on my people's honor that I would do my utmost to return her to her people as soon as I was able. Our Loremaster said we massively changed a big part of the history going forward, because the land was scorched for a reason, and us reuniting an Entwife with the ents was huge
