Arise, arise, Riders of Theoden! Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter! spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor! With that he seized a great horn from Guthlaf his banner-bearer, and he blew such a blast upon it that it burst asunder. And straightway all the horns in the host were lifted up in music, and the blowing of the horns of Rohan in that hour was like a storm upon the plain and a thunder in the mountains. Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor! Suddenly the king cried to Snowmane and the horse sprang away. Behind him his banner blew in the wind, white horse upon a field of green, but he outpaced it. After him thundered the knights of his house, but he was ever before them. eomer rode there, the white horsetail on his helm floating in his speed, and the front of the first eored roared like a breaker foaming to the shore, but Theoden could not be overtaken. Fey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new tire in his veins, and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Orome the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young. His golden shield was uncovered, and lo! it shone like an image of the Sun, and the grass flamed into green about the white feet of his steed. For morning came, morning and a wind from the sea; and the darkness was removed, and the hosts of Mordor wailed, and terror took them, and they fled, and died, and the hoofs of wrath rode over them. And then all the host of Rohan burst into song, and they sang as they slew, for the joy of battle was on them, and the sound of their singing that was fair and terrible came even to the City.

Just by being this humble and wise king, he's managed to have the respect of all around him and the courage to face the dogs of mordor.

Agreed. From the stranglehold that Saruman held on him, realising the death of his son, defeating Saruman's army at Helm's Deep, and against all odds, destroy the Orc-Army from Saurin himself, that was besieging Minas Tirith, taking the mighty Haradrim, head on, eventually to fall to the Nazgul of the Witch King of Angmar himself. It doesnt get more epic then that. From a puppeteered zombie, to a defensive leader, to the liberator of the free world(Minas Tirith would have fallen, had Rohan not arrived in the nick of time!).

In the book, the body "hewn even as it lay dead" was Hama, who was Captain of Theoden's personal bodyguard and likely a dear comrade. His loyalty to Theoden left him conflicted: he confiscated the Three Hunters' weapons when they arrived with Gandalf at Meduseld, but allowed Gandalf himself to keep his staff despite knowing it could be a dangerous tool (and in spite of specific instructions from the King through Wormtongue forbidding this). This helped pave the way for his liege's restoration by Gandalf, who used his staff to draw Saruman "as poison is drawn from a wound." In the film we see him perform a similar role; in addition to the above, he prevents Gamling (who was not present in the books here, his role being exchanged for Eomer's) from drawing his sword as the Hunters make short work of Grima's thugs. In the film Hama is killed by a warg rider; Aragorn speaks with his son, Halas, and tries to instill confidence in him although I tend to assume Halas met his father's fate in the movie continuity. I've always assumed at least part of Theoden's anger here is due to not just the death but discretion of the son of his friend and loyal soldier.

Theoden was always my fav character in LOTR events. You can find good, kind, wise, brave heroes which are Numenorians/Elves/Hobbits/Mayar etc. But Theoden is close to me because he is a human, a very simple human being like me or you, not blessed by Valar etc. Nevertheless, he IS the definition of EPIC character, and I would gladly follow into abyss led by such a leader and king, riding for ruin and the world's ending.

It was an interesting relationship in the trilogy between Theoden, Merry, and Eowyn. The king seemed to see that the halfling and the woman both had the warrior spirit within them, but he never quite accepted that they could and should take part in the war. It was Tolkien who arranged for fate in the novel to put them at his side at his last defense, and to give them a great victory of their own, one no others on the field could have gained. It works extremely well in both media-just a great scene.

They were truly expecting to be annihilated and armed even young boys of around 14 or so to fight beside them. It's something small that doesn't take long to move to a new scene, but it holds a profound importance. It shows the severity in which they place this threat that even their young must be made to fight tooth and nail or die trying.

To be honest, withdrawing to Helms deep was the best decision Theodin could have made. Given the number of men at Theodins disposal, even including the Elven allies and Eomers Rohirim, victory of the Urukhai army in the open field would have been impossible. This is especially true when you consider that the Urukhai were specifically designed by Sauroman to counter the main strength of Rohan, their cavalry. They were heavy infantry, armed with long pikes, perfectly suited for defeating a mounted army. Gandalfs suggestion to "ride out and meet them" would have led to inevitable defeat. Helms Deep is a fortress, the whole point of a fortress is to act as a force multiplier for outnumbered armies.

It be fair, Gandalf already had the foresight to know that Merry and Pippen getting lost in Fangorn was his Ace-in-the-hole. Remember, Rohan had to march closer to Isengard to get to helms deep and they still beat the Uru-Kai there with some time to spare, so either the Uru-Kai army are slow AF and was still near Isengard or they were marching to Edoras and turned around. Either way I would image Gandalf counseling Theoden to attack near the forest.

@@Todesmorgen Throughout history, battles have been won, and lost, on slopes. Ironically both Napoleon, and Wellington, used reverse slopes to hide artillery, and massed infantry, at seperate battles (Austerlitz, and Waterloo, respectively), to their respective enemies detriment. But a massed cavalry charge, at full gallop, down a 60% slope ...? Ye Gods, no wonder the Orcs broke ranks. True, the pikes may stop a rank, or so, of horses, but the ones behind will just simply smash through, by sheer momentum alone. So, even if the Wolf Riders were there, if the above commentator is correct, sending such an elite force as a scouting party, was a huge mistake, especially when so many were simply cut down. Not having a 'heavy cavalry' on the wings, to counteract in a pincer movement, led to the inevitable envelopment ... As someone one said, in reference to his physics, "Newton was a right bastard* ..." ...

Fast forward to 2023 where the withers have source material and the actor is forced to leave franchise simply because he's "too passionate" about the source material. We will never get a masterpiece like LOTR.

If I could have saved a single character from the books who died, I would have saved Theoden. Boromir was a close second but I believe his loyalty to his father Denethor was almost as deadly to him as the Ring (lust for power and the stewardship of Gondor). Theoden redeems himself and proves beyond measure that he was as great a King as his sires. His people loved him and Merry saw him as a father. A masterful performance

Could have been saved if not for the madness of Denethor.
@craygroup2 жыл бұрын
I disagree personally. I’d save Boromir. Boromir redeemed himself after what he did, but never got to see what he’d always dreamed of: Gondor restored. Theoden long saw himself as a failure and weak compared to his fathers, fearing he’d be ashamed in the afterlife because he’d done few to no great deeds, especially after being poisoned by Saruman and letting the enemy run all over him. But after Helm’s Deep and his eventual death on Pelennor Fields, he knew he’d won and proved himself worthy to stand amongst his fathers. “I go to my fathers. And even in their mighty company I shall not now be ashamed. I felled the black serpent.'" Theoden died at peace.
@elizabethalderman87492 жыл бұрын
@@craygroup excellent point. However even Faramir cautioned that Boromir might have had trouble later on (having always desired the kingship) with his relationship with Aragorn. Frodo and Sam swear that Boromir both accepted and followed Aragorn but Frodo privately held the same doubts

Choose as you like the moment Aragorn became the King of Gondor, but I'm gonna say it's when Theoden said "Let this be the moment we draw swords together" it's almost like you can see Aragorn getting taller

He's even better in the books. The man wakes up after being healed by Gandalf and within ten minutes the man is ready to lead his men out to war with Saruman. He only retreats to helm's Deep because the main Rohirem army had already been beaten by the uruks and scattered. The man was 100% prepared for violence every moment of his life.

Great kings always have a certain feel to them, the loyalty, the strength, and their hearts just echo something special. Theoden really was a king for his people, dropping everything at a moments notice to go fight at Minas Tirith and leading the Ride of the Rohirrim. Theoden will go down in history as one of the greatest kings.

Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing? Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing? Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning, Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?
