I always had the feeling that behind the epic wording, Theoden was just incredibly pissed off after his "possession", by Saruman but by himself too, for falling to despair. So he went as hard as he could, and more. It kinda runs in the family, as his ancestor Helm also went super hardcore, and Eomer and Eowyn have shades of this too. It comes full circle when you realize they all are absolutely disregarding death in their moment, overcoming the fear that plagued Men and turned them to the Shadow.

Part of the greatness of Theoden king and his recognition is because of Bernard Hill's spectacular performance in the movies.

I always interpreted the "poisoning" of Theoden as purely psychological, not a substance to be administered.

@waynepurcell60582 жыл бұрын
The word leechcraft is ALSO used in the book. Leechcraft is being a "healer" and using "medicine" (herbs and such). Healing agents can also do damage if improperly administered. One can slow poison a person with "good medicine" if they know what they are doing, and Wormtongue had Saruman to advise him about such things.
@CJ4S1478 ай бұрын
I do wonder based on the other context in this section if perhaps this wasn’t one of the few ambiguous word choices Tolkien made. Also it to me seems akin to the influence Saruman wielded over Denethor using only the palantir. Based on this I wouldn’t logically assume that bringing Theoden to despair would require spells or substances. It certainly did make for an exciting scene though whatever you think of Jacksons interpretation.

Here is a true history fact: The very same troops will have TREMENDOUSLY different combat prowess when their king/leader orders them to "charge into battle" compared to when their king orders them to "follow me into battle". You can find this as true of many great heroes all across the world and time: Leonidas of Sparta, Ahuizotl of Tenochtitlan, Vlad Tepest the Impaler, Almiral Yi the Undefeated, Alexander Nevsky, and many others. Tolkien of course was a great history geek, the battle of Pelennor fields closely mimics a battle of old between a Roman-Goth aliance and Atila the Hun where Rohan is the Visigoth cavalry! All down to the point where the Visigoth king dies in combat and his son is crowned in the middle of the battle and continues guiding their troops.

With large armies in the 1st and 2nd ages, there had to have been massive casualties. But also how do you replenish those numbers? Can we discuss how big cities had to have been then and perhaps compare it to cities of today? Elves, dwarves, and men likely have different practices surrounding procreation so the difference in culture and lifespans would be cool to examine also. At any rate I thought this might be fun way to theorize about the deeper origins of armies. Killer channel! Keep it up!!
