He was a hero whose romance with the [[Elves|Elf]] [[Lúthien]], and their [[Quest for the Silmaril|Quest]] to obtain a [[Silmaril]] from the [[Iron Crown]] of [[Morgoth]], was one of the great tales of the [[Elder Days]].&lt;ref name=S19&gt;{{S|19}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> ===Life in Dorthonion===<br /> [[File:J.R.R. Tolkien - Beren Gamlost heraldic device.jpg|thumb|left|120px|Beren Gamlost's heraldic device by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]]]<br /> Beren was the son of [[Barahir]] and [[Emeldir]] and was named after [[Beren (son of Belemir)|Beren, his maternal grandfather]].&lt;ref&gt;{{WJ|West}}&lt;/ref&gt; He was a Man of the royal [[House of Bëor]] of [[Dorthonion]] for his father was most likely the last Chieftain of the House of Bëor. The [[Dagor Bragollach]] (&quot;Battle of Sudden Flame&quot;) befell during his youth, bringing about the ruin of his land. The young Beren lived with his father and ten loyal followers in the highlands of Dorthonion, and the twelve of them performed many acts of bravery, to the great frustration of [[Morgoth]], the Dark Lord of [[Angband]]. But due to the treachery of [[Gorlim the Unhappy]], the [[Barahir's Outlaw Band|Outlaws of Dorthonion]] were slain at the hands of the [[Orcs]] of [[Sauron]]. Beren swore an oath to avenge his father. But he &quot;wept not, for his heart was ice&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;{{LB|C2}}&lt;/ref&gt; He slew the orcs responsible for the death of his people and recovered from them the [[Ring of Barahir]].&lt;ref name=S19/&gt;<br /> <br /> Living as an outlaw, his daring feats won renown throughout the free world, and earned the hatred of Morgoth, who set upon his head a bounty. Thus, he was forced to abandon the land of his birth and the grave of his father. He passed through the horrors of [[Nan Dungortheb]] by paths traversed by no other elves or men, and came into [[Doriath]], where he met and fell in love with Lúthien — princess of the [[Sindar]], and daughter of [[Thingol]], King of Doriath and [[Melian]] the [[Maia]] — upon seeing her dancing in the woods of [[Neldoreth]], and she loved him too.&lt;ref name=S19/&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Quest for the Silmaril===<br /> [[File:Peter Xavier Price - Beren leaves Menegroth.jpg|thumb|left|''Beren leaves Menegroth'' by [[Peter Xavier Price]]]]<br /> {{Main|Quest for the Silmaril}}<br /> Thingol refused to give Lúthien's hand in marriage, as Beren was a mortal. He charged Beren that he would allow the marriage to take place only if he brought back a [[Silmaril]] from the [[Iron Crown]] of Morgoth. The task was intended to be impossible, but Beren was determined. He set out on his quest with the aid of [[Finrod|Finrod Felagund]] of [[Nargothrond]], but was soon captured by [[Sauron]] and imprisoned in [[Tol-in-Gaurhoth]]. There Finrod succumbed to death, at the hands of the wolves of Sauron, saving the life of Beren with his dying act. Lúthien, along with [[Huan]] the great hound, eventually came to his rescue, and they departed that place. Near to [[Brethil]], they were ambushed by two of the [[Sons of Fëanor]], [[Celegorm]] and [[Curufin]], the latter of whom had swept Lúthien up into his saddle. To rescue her, Beren carried out his [[Leap of Beren|leap of renown]] to the steed of Curufin. Stripping him of his horse and knife, [[Angrist]], Beren bade the two brothers be gone. Curufin fired arrows at Lúthien as they fled, and Beren was hit. He was nursed back to health by Lúthien and Huan.&lt;ref name=S19/&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Image:Ted_Nasmith_-_Transformed.jpg|thumb|''Transformed'' by [[Ted Nasmith]]]]<br /> After a time, Beren continued upon his quest. Leaving Lúthien in the care of Huan, he travelled to the borders of [[Anfauglith]] and despairing, there sung the [[Song of Parting]]. Unlooked for, Lúthien and Huan heard his lament and came to him, and Beren tried to dissuade her from joining his quest, but then Huan spoke, counselling that their fates were now entwined. Then, disguising themselves as fell servants of Sauron, they crossed leagues of desert, ashes and dust until they came to the [[Gates of Angband]].&lt;ref name=S19/&gt;<br /> <br /> Using Lúthien's powers to place Morgoth's court into a deep sleep, they were able to enter Angband where Beren cut a Silmaril from the [[Iron Crown]] of Morgoth. However, as they escaped from Angband, the great wolf [[Carcharoth]], whom Morgoth had personally bred, awoke. Beren held out the Silmaril, hoping that its radiance would avert the beast, but he was mistaken. Carcharoth bit off his hand, swallowing it along with the Silmaril, and proceeded to run rampant through Doriath. Thus Beren was called '''''Erchamion''''', &quot;One-handed&quot;. Lúthien and the unconscious Beren were rescued by the Eagles of [[Manwë]]. Coming back to Thingol's court, both told him the tale of their quest and how Beren had fulfilled Thingol's demand, as he had one Silmaril in his hand. Thus, Thingol relented, and Beren and Lúthien were married; this was the first [[Unions of Elves and Men|union of Elves and Men]].<br /> Beren participated in the hunting of Carcharoth, where the beast was slain and the Silmaril recovered; the quest was accomplished, but in the process Huan was slain and Beren was mortally wounded.&lt;ref name=S19/&gt;<br /> <br /> Succumbing to grief over the death of her beloved, Lúthien died, and her soul fled to the [[Halls of Mandos]], where she moved [[Mandos]] to pity. So it came to pass that Lúthien and Beren were granted a life together in [[Middle-earth]].&lt;ref name=S19/&gt; Both she and Beren were restored to life, but both of them would die the mortal death of Men, and go beyond the walls of [[Arda]] to the unknown [[Doom of Men]].&lt;ref name=doriath&gt;{{S|Doriath}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Aftermath===<br /> {{Quote|(...) and whether the second span of his life was brief or long is not known to Elves or Men|''The Lost Road and Other Writings'', &quot;VI. Quenta Silmarillion&quot;}}<br /> Thus Beren and Lúthien lived again, and dwelt on [[Tol Galen]] in the middle of the [[Adurant|River Adurant]] in [[Ossiriand]]. There they stayed apart from other mortals. Lúthien bore Beren a son, named [[Dior]], Thingol's heir.&lt;ref name=S20/&gt; He was considered to be one of the fairest beings to ever live, for in him flowed the blood of Men, the blood of Elves, and the blood of the [[Ainur]]. Through his descendants, the blood of Beren and of Lúthien was preserved among the [[Eldar]] and the [[Edain]].<br /> [[File:Turner Mohan - Beren and Luthien.jpg|thumb|''Beren and Luthien'' by [[:Category:Images by Turner Mohan|Turner Mohan]]]]<br /> <br /> The taking of the Silmaril from Angband by Beren and Lúthien led [[Maedhros]], the eldest of the [[sons of Fëanor]] to lead a [[Union of Maedhros|union]] of Elves and Men in an assault upon Angband in the ill-fated [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. It was here that Morgoth gained a greater control over Beleriand and where [[Húrin]] of the [[House of Hador]] was taken prisoner to Angband.&lt;ref name=S20&gt;{{S|20}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Beren was involved with the events of the [[First Age]] only one further time. After the murder of Thingol, [[Mablung]] was sent by Melian to warn Beren. He gathered the [[Green-elves]], and with the aid of some [[Ents]]&lt;ref&gt;{{L|248}}&lt;/ref&gt; they waylaid a group of the [[Dwarves of Nogrod]] who had [[Battle of the Thousand Caves|destroyed]] Doriath and stolen its treasures. They ambushed the Dwarves and vanquished them in the [[Battle of Sarn Athrad]]. Because the [[Naugladur|Lord of Nogrod]] cursed the treasure, Beren threw it in the river [[Ascar]], but salvaged the [[Nauglamir]] which he brought to his wife. Their son Dior left to restore and rule [[Menegroth]].&lt;ref name=doriath/&gt;<br /> <br /> Beren and Lúthien died together on Tol Galen. Among the [[Children of Ilúvatar]] the final death of Beren and Lúthien is accounted in {{FA|503}}, for in the Autumn of that year Dior received the Silmaril in Doriath, and it was taken as a sign of his parents' death. In truth the date of their death is unknown.&lt;ref name=doriath/&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{LR|Quenta}}, p. 306&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics==<br /> Beren had golden-brown hair and grey eyes. He was taller than most of his kinsmen, but (according to the trait of his House) he was broad-shouldered, and his limbs were very strong.&lt;ref name=n46/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> {{Pronounce|Beren Erchamion.mp3|Ardamir}}<br /> ''Beren'' is glossed as &quot;bold&quot; in [[Noldorin]] of ''[[The Etymologies]]''.&lt;ref&gt;{{LR|Etymologies}}, root &quot;[[BER]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Other names==<br /> His epithet '''''Erchamion''''' means &quot;one-handed&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;{{HM|WJ}}, pp. 51, 231&lt;/ref&gt; Its [[Quenya]] cognate was '''''Ercambo'''''.&lt;ref&gt;{{VT|47a}}, p. 8&lt;/ref&gt; It has been suggested that '''''Camlost''''' means &quot;empty-handed&quot;.

In this version, Beren was an Elf: one of the [[Gnomes]] of [[Dor-lómin]], the son of [[Egnor]] the Forester.&lt;ref name=&quot;LT2 Tinuviel p.11&quot;&gt;{{LT2|In}}, p. 11&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> He arrived in [[Artanor]] (an early form of Doriath) and saw Tinúviel (the early name of Lúthien) as in the later work, although the backstory regarding the outlaws of Barahir is absent in the early tale. The displeasure of King [[Tinwelint]] against him was because the [[Dark Elves]] of [[Artanor]] considered those Elves treacherous.&lt;ref&gt;{{BL|Introduction}}&lt;/ref&gt; After being sent to obtain a Silmaril by Tinwelint, Beren heads directly to [[Angamandi]], and is captured by orcs and brought before [[Melko]]&lt;ref name=&quot;LT2 Tinuviel pp.14-5&quot;&gt;{{LT2|In}}, pp. 14-5&lt;/ref&gt; rather than going to seek the aid of King Finrod Felagund. Throughout this early tale, the entire &quot;Nargothrond element&quot; is absent.&lt;ref name=&quot;LT2 Tinuviel p.53&quot;&gt;{{LT2|In}}, p. 53&lt;/ref&gt; Instead of being imprisoned in Tol-in-Gaurhoth by Sauron, Beren is put to work as a scullion in the kitchens of [[Tevildo]], Prince of Cats, a very early narrative forerunner to Sauron.&lt;ref name=&quot;LT2 Tinuviel p.54&quot;&gt;{{LT2|In}}, p. 54&lt;/ref&gt; Upon his rescue from the castle of Tevildo by Tinúviel, he emerged with a kitchen knife&lt;ref name=&quot;LT2 Tinuviel p.29&quot;&gt;{{LT2|In}}, p. 29&lt;/ref&gt; which he later used to cut a Silmaril from the Iron Crown of Melko.&lt;ref name=&quot;LT2 Tinuviel p.33&quot;&gt;{{LT2|In}}, p. 33&lt;/ref&gt; This weapon is used in place of Angrist, since the encounter with Celegorm and Curufin is absent in this early tale. <br /> <br /> After obtaining the Silmaril, the jewel and the hand of Beren were bitten off by the wolf Karkaras (an early name for Carcharoth).&lt;ref name=&quot;LT2 Tinuviel p.34&quot;&gt;{{LT2|In}}, p. 34&lt;/ref&gt; Beren and Tinúviel then fled and were found by Huan, who brought them to Artanor.&lt;ref name=&quot;LT2 Tinuviel pp.35-7&quot;&gt;{{LT2|In}}, pp. 35-7&lt;/ref&gt; This contrasts with the rescue of Beren and Lúthien from the gates of Angband by Thorondor and the [[Eagles]] in the published version of [[The Silmarillion]]; Christopher Tolkien remarks that &quot;far more is made of the healing of Beren's wound&quot; in the final work.&lt;ref name=&quot;LT2 Tinuviel p. 58&quot;&gt;{{LT2|In}}, p. 58&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The death of Beren in the early tale follows a similar story arc, however Christopher Tolkien discusses the consequences of Beren's Elvish nature in the early tale here.&lt;ref name=&quot;LT2 Tinuviel pp. 59-60&quot;&gt;{{LT2|In}}, pp. 59-60&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Inspiration==<br /> The story of Beren and Lúthien, though mentioned only briefly in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', was a central part of the [[Legendarium]]. Tolkien once referred to it as &quot;the kernel of the mythology&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;{{L|165}}&lt;/ref&gt; He went on to say that it &quot;arose from a small woodland glade filled with 'hemlocks'&quot;, which he visited while serving in the Humber Garrison in 1918 (during [[World War I]]).<br /> <br /> Tolkien seemed to be somehow connected to this character, and parallels can be drawn with his relationship with [[Edith Tolkien|Edith Bratt]]. Furthermore it is possible that ''Beren'' (meaning 'brave') is a reference to the original meaning of his Germanic surname (Toll kühn) of similar meaning. It is said that, like the story of Lúthien dancing in the woods before Beren, that one day while Tolkien and his wife were on a picnic in the woods she danced for him, thus creating another parallel to Beren and Luthien. <br /> <br /> Tolkien was buried in [[Wolvercote Cemetery]] (North [[Oxford]]) and this name appears on the stone:<br /> <br /> :JOHN RONALD REUEL TOLKIEN Beren 1892 – 1973<br /> <br /> The name of Lúthien also appears on the stone:<br /> <br /> :EDITH MARY TOLKIEN Lúthien 1889 – 1971<br /> <br /> <br /> [[John Garth]] has theorized that the name Beren could have originally come from Beren’s Hill in [[Wikipedia:South Oxfordshire|South Oxfordshire]].&lt;ref name=&quot;VanityFair&quot;&gt;{{webcite|authorJohn Garth|articleurl=https://steadyhq.com/en/john-garth-on-tolkiens-life-and-works/posts/40c3274b-ffc1-4c1e-aba4-547f4d15bd6b?utm_campaign=steady_sharing_button|articlename=Where did Tolkien’s Silmarillion hero Beren get his name?|dated=22-March-2024|website=Steady|accessed=23-March-2024}}&lt;/ref&gt;{{references}}<br /> {{seq-start}}<br /> {{seq-head<br /> | name=Beren<br /> | race=edain<br /> | house=[[House of Bëor]]<br /> | born={{FA|432}}<br /> | died={{FA|466}}/{{FA|503|n}}<br /> }}<br /> {{seq<br /> | prow=<br /> | pvac=<br /> | prev=[[Barahir]]<br /> | list=8th Head of the [[House of Bëor]]<br /> | dates={{FA|460}} - {{FA|466|n}}<br /> | next=''House of Bëor ceased to exist''<br /> | nvac=None<br /> | nrow=<br /> }}<br /> {{seq-end}}<br /> {{Outlaws}}<br /> [[Category:Characters in The Book of Lost Tales]]<br /> [[Category:Characters in The Silmarillion]]<br /> [[Category:Edain]]<br /> [[Category:First Age characters]]<br /> [[Category:Gnomish names]]<br /> [[Category:House of Bëor]]<br /> [[Category:Noldorin names]]<br /> [[Category:Sindarin names]]<br /> [[de:Beren Erchamion]]<br /> [[fr:encyclo:personnages:hommes:1a:peuple de beor:beren]]<br /> [[fi:Beren]]</div>

This scene was not featured in the theatrical release of ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers]]''.<br /> <br /> ==Synopsis==<br /> [[Faramir]] leads [[Frodo]] and [[Sam]] to a sewer through which they can exit [[Osgiliath]] into the woods. Upon asking them what path they will then take, Frodo tells him that, according to [[Gollum]], there is a path near [[Minas Morgul]] leading into the mountains bordering [[Mordor]]. Alarmed at hearing this, Faramir grabs a slinking, guilty-appearing Gollum by the throat and asks harshly if he is taking the hobbits via [[Cirith Ungol]]. Gollum confirms this and Faramir warns them against taking that path, saying that a dark terror dwells in those passes. However, Frodo says he must go to Mordor. After a moment, Faramir wishes him and Sam &quot;Go with the good will of all [[Men]]&quot;. <br /> <br /> As the two hobbits disappear into the sewer, Faramir pins Gollum against the walls and says to him &quot;May death find you quickly, if you bring them to harm&quot;, before throwing him towards the sewer. Gollum limps along after the two hobbits. Sam reassures Gollum that Frodo did not mean for Faramir and his men to hurt him. Gollum agrees there are no hard feelings, and in response, Sam tells him that is very decent of him. <br /> <br /> ==Differences==<br /> In the book, Faramir does not lead Frodo and Sam to Osgiliath. Rather, he chooses to let Frodo and Sam continue their journey to Minas Morgul while they are at [[Henneth Annûn]].&lt;ref&gt;{{TT|Journey}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> {{references}}<br /> [[Category:The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers scenes|64]]</div>

Frodo considers and tells Sam that he wants to help Gollum; ''&quot;I have to believe he can come back&quot;'', Frodo says of Gollum. Sam does not believe that is possible, and Frodo snaps at him, telling him he knows nothing of the situation. After a moment, Frodo's anger dissipates, and he apologies to Sam. Somewhat taken aback by this, Sam tells him that Frodo's anger is due to the influence of the Ring and that he needs to fight it.

<p>GondolinFan: /* Númenor */ Vote</p> <hr /> <div>{{shortcut|TG:FA/N}}Current '''nominations''' for '''featured article''' status are listed here. Former nominations (successful and unsuccessful) are listed at [[Tolkien Gateway:Featured articles/Archive]]. <br /> <br /> In considering an article, please review the nomination criteria below to judge for yourself whether the article meets the criteria. If you are satisfied, then create a new section at the bottom of the page, titled with the name of the article, with your rationale for nomination.

It should be well-written, complete, illustrated, and referenced and meet these specific criteria:<br /> <br /> :::#The text is ''entirely'' written by TG editors with correct English spelling, grammar and punctuation;<br /> :::#There are no outstanding [[:Category:Maintenance templates|maintenance templates]] on the article;<br /> :::#The article is well-referenced throughout, leaving the reader under no illusions as to where to source information themselves;<br /> :::#The article conforms to TG's [[Tolkien Gateway:Manual of Style|Standards]], as well as those laid out in the relevant [[Tolkien Gateway:Projects|Project]];<br /> :::#The text is sprinkled with ''relevant'' [[Help:Images|images]] (including captions) of appropriate size - if necessary, including a gallery;<br /> :::#Articles are at least 5,000 bytes long;<br /> :::#Where applicable, contains complete sections of &quot;History&quot;, &quot;Portrayal in adaptations&quot;, &quot;Other versions of the legendarium&quot;, &quot;See also&quot;, &quot;Genealogy&quot;, &quot;Etymology&quot;, &quot;Other names&quot;, etc;<br /> :::#Where applicable, ''full use'' has been made of relevant templates, e.g.: [[:Category:Disambiguation and redirection templates|disambiguation]], [[Template:Seealso|see also]], [[Template:Main|main]], [[Template:Navigation|navigation]], [[Template:Pronounce|pronounce]], [[Template:Familytree|familytree]], [[Template:Seq|sequence]];<br /> :::#Where applicable, contains interwiki links;<br /> :::#Preferably no red-links, but no more than half-a-dozen.<br /> <br /> After nomination, an article should receive five votes with with no objections within a month or so; each user being able to cast one vote. Each entry should begin with '''Agree''', '''Disagree''' or '''Undecided''' and be signed by the user, and, if they choose, an explanation of their vote.<br /> <br /> ==Current nominations==<br /> ===[[Gandalf]]===<br /> It's a pretty impressive article, and well deserved for my favourite character and such an interesting character.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 07:14, 6 June 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> * '''Agree'''. If I'm not mistaking, Gandalf has already been FA once. That doesn't mean it can't be again, but it's near the end of the queue. Oh, '''agree''', btw. but the sourcing needs to be a bit better. -- [[User:Ederchil|Ederchil]] 08:01, 6 June 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> * '''Agree'''. This article is extensive, appears complete, well-referenced, and lavishly illustrated. It is a prime example of what an FA should be.--[[User:Theoden1|Theoden1]] 13:31, 7 June 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. Yes, quite well done. Excellent, in fact.--Ingwe<br /> <br /> * '''Agree'''. Nice long article, good information, plus good introduction into Tolkien. {{unsigned|ZehnWaters}}<br /> <br /> *'''Agree''' A Middle Earth without Gandalf, is not a true Middle Eearth at all.--{{User:Breragor/sig}}<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. After reading it, I have to admit it is the best article we have.--&lt;tt&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#7BA05B&quot;&gt;[[User:Odysseas-spartan-53|Odysseas]]-[[User talk:Odysseas-spartan-53|Spartan]]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;[[Special:Contributions/Odysseas-spartan-53|&lt;font color=&quot;#4B5320&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;5&quot;&gt;53&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;]]&lt;/tt&gt; 10:50, 23 May 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. Olorin, Mithrandir, Gandalf, conjurer, istar, mighty maiar, there is so much to be told of my favourite immortal. Elvenshieldmaiden<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. Exellent Article! Besides, Gandalf is the heart of Tolkien's work. His article deserves to be featured. [[User:Mthomas|mthomas]] 12:30, 7 June 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. The first thing new users see is the main page, and generally people are most familiar with Gandalf. --Yurpee<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. A central character in the LoTR trilogy. Everyone knows who he is and he deserves a good moment in the spotlight. -- Naruvir<br /> <br /> *'''Disagree''' - I think it's a big cluttered in its structure and severely lacks sources required to make it worthy of the title. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 14:23, 4 January 2011 (UTC)<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. It definitely deserves to be featured, but I think later, after the revisions are done because of the Hobbit movies coming. {{Unsigned|Lilybell}}<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. It is a well written article, the main picture is appropriate, and there are very little red links. This article gives a great introduction to Gandalf for someone who is new to Tolkien's works. Plus, the character is just all-around amazing. --[[User:Joszyboom|Joszyboom]]<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. I think it is an important fact that Gandalf is a Miar, and not just a human with powers. I don't think that many people would know that, but it is important and this will help. -- quark<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. I remember when I was just getting into Tolkien's works in 6th grade with The Hobbit and had no idea who Gandalf was then I went to LOTR and Gandalf with the &quot;You Shall Not Pass&quot; I was amazed and started to delve deeper but that was my own initiative if this article goes on the home page then any new Tolkien reader would go and read it learning a substantial amount of knowledge. -- Aragorn is Awesome<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. But, people get so excited about editing his article that they forget the citations...--[[User:Erónèhire|Erónèhire]] 02:33, 10 March 2021 (UTC)<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. It's a pretty big article and includes all information like detailed history as well as many images.--Shivam 07:38, 9 April 2021 (UTC)<br /> <br /> *'''Disagree'''. Needs more references and the matter of his names is a mess. I'd change my vote if this is solved (I hope I can contribute anytime soon). --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] 11:00, 13 April 2022 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ===[[Dwalin]]===<br /> As Smaug has been featured for almost nine months now I think it is time to look for a new featured article. Personally I think [[Dwalin]] might be a good choice. It is well-writen, sourced, no maintaince templates and only one red link. Although Dwalin isn't as long as previous featured articles, it covers (almost) all information that can be found in the books. And, with [[The Hobbit (film series)|''The Hobbit'' (film series)]] coming this year people will search for more information about the Hobbit and characters/locations. Therefore it would be good if an article related to The Hobbit will appear on the main page. --[[User:Amroth|Amroth]] 19:57, 9 March 2012 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :+1.--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 20:07, 9 March 2012 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Any other opinions? --[[User:Amroth|Amroth]] 14:53, 21 March 2012 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::I don't like the main image.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 15:20, 21 March 2012 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :::I kind of agree, but we don't have many other images of him. The only other suitable image seems to be [[:File:New Line Cinema - Dwalin 2.png|this one]]. --[[User:Amroth|Amroth]] 19:55, 21 March 2012 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::Why not an image from The Hobbit film?--[[User:Erónèhire|Erónèhire]] 02:31, 10 March 2021 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ===[[Bard]]===<br /> Although Gondolin has only been featured for just over 3 months, I think that the featured article should be updated more often. I feel that [[Bard]] is a great option, because sometimes i think he's underappreciated. He played a big part in The Battle of the Five Armies, and was the King of [[Dale]] for quite some time. --[[User:BrandonEchols|BrandonEchols]] 00:01, 10 April 2023 (UTC)<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. It's a good article. However, I disagree with updating things more often. I've taken the resolution to update the whole Main Page exactly twice a year, in due dates.--[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 12:07, 11 April 2023 (UTC)<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. I think it would be a good choice, because he is '''truly''' underappreciated.--[[User:MEGRIMLOCK|MEGRIMLOCK]] ([[User talk:MEGRIMLOCK|talk]]) 13:01, 2 May 2023 (UTC) <br /> <br /> *'''Disagree'''. While the article is interesting and while he is an important character in [[The Hobbit]], the article does not fullfill the criteria for nomination yet. It lacked references for the dates of his rule, the dates of his death and his minimum age at the time of his death. In addition, there were errors in the article. I corrected errors and added references, but the article is not finished yet. --[[User:Akhorahil|Akhorahil]] ([[User talk:Akhorahil|talk]]) 15:36, 2 May 2023 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :True, I will help work on his page.--[[User:MEGRIMLOCK|MEGRIMLOCK]] ([[User talk:MEGRIMLOCK|talk]]) 16:40, 2 May 2023 (UTC)<br /> ===[[Númenor]]===<br /> It is a quality article that is well known by any Tolkien fan, but it may have renewed interest from the non-fans who watched Rings of Power.

I somehow stumbled upon Tolkien Gateway around 2009, and since then, I’ve used this site on-and-off as my main go-to for anything related to the works of Tolkien. Towards the end of 2021, I very tentatively decided to create an account and edit an article (putting aside fears of somehow doing something silly or “messing things up”) which I thought could be improved. <br /> <br /> ==My goals here== <br /> * Ensure all Silmarillion chapter synopses are of a high quality)<br /> * Clean up major Silmarillion-related pages that need it<br /> * [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)]] scene-by-scene synopses (synopses / differences / images)<br /> ** Duration and scene number (theatrical &amp; extended) to add for each scene I've added synopsis for!

<p>GondolinFan: Adding relevant links to &quot;See also&quot; section</p> <hr /> <div>{{HoME2chapters}}<br /> [[File:J.R.R. Tolkien - The Tale of Tinúviel.png|275px|thumb|A page from the ''written manuscript version'' of the text]]<br /> '''The Tale of Tinúviel''' is the first chapter of ''[[The Book of Lost Tales Part Two]]''. It is one of the earliest stories developed in the [[legendarium]], having first been written in 1917, and contains the earliest versions of the story of [[Beren]] and [[Lúthien]], later revisited as the ''[[Lay of Leithian]]'' and ''[[Of Beren and Lúthien]]'' from the ''[[Quenta Silmarillion]]''. <br /> <br /> ==Synopsis==<br /> ===Link===<br /> In the days after [[Eriol]] discussed the evil of [[Melko]] with [[Lindo]], winter came to [[Tol Eressëa]], and Eriol's desire of wandering lessened. During this time, he stayed in [[Kortirion]], where he developed his knowledge of Elvish language and lore. <br /> <br /> On one such grey day, Eriol was playing with the children of the [[Tol Eressëa|Isle]] in the Hall of Play Regained, when one of them, [[Vëannë]], asked him to tell a tale of [[Men]]. He told her of his home, an old town, where there was a great tower nearby. Vëannë asked him if it was &quot;as high as [[Ingil's Tirin]]&quot;, but he could not say, having not lived there long during his childhood. He told how his father nurtured the sea-longing within him with many stories before he was killed in a siege upon the town, along with Eriol's mother. Vëannë and Eriol then spoke of war, but Eriol ended talk of such things and told the children of his first sailings on the sea, where he met an ancient sailor who told him tales of beyond the [[Western Sea]] and the [[Magic Isles]].&lt;ref group=&quot;note&quot;&gt;In the &quot;typescript&quot; version of the Link passage, the boy Ausir claims that the ancient mariner that Eriol encountered was [[Ulmo]] himself, however Eriol did not believe this.&lt;/ref&gt; As a consequence, he sailed more curiously until he eventually arrived at Tol Eressëa. A boy named [[Ausir (boy)|Ausir]] then begged Eriol for more tales of the sea and ships, but Eriol instead asked for a tale from one of them. Then Vëannë clapped her hands, and said &quot;I will tell you the Tale of Tinúviel&quot;.<br /> <br /> ===Of Gwendeling and Tinwelint===<br /> &lt;!--[[File:Elena Kukanova - Her magic voice.jpg|thumb|''Her magic voice'' by [[Elena Kukanova]]]]--&gt;<br /> [[Gwendeling]] was a [[sprite]] from the gardens of [[Lórien]] who wandered in the woods of the world, with [[nightingales]] singing about her. One of these bird-songs was heard by [[Tinwelint]], leader of the [[Solosimpi]], during the march from [[Palisor]] led by [[Oromë]], and he strayed aside and found Gwendeling. There he spent long years, and the two married and became king and queen of the Lost Elves of [[Artanor]]. Their dwelling in the caverns of the forest of [[Artanor]] was hidden from [[Melko]], who had returned from [[Valinor]], by the spells of Gwendeling.<br /> <br /> ===The meeting of Beren and Tinúviel===<br /> &lt;!--[[File:HelenKei - Tinuviel! Tinuviel!.jpg|thumb|''Tinuviel! Tinuviel!'' by [[HelenKei]]]]--&gt;<br /> [[File:Alan Lee - yet now did he see Tinúviel dancing in the twilight.jpg|thumb|''yet now did he see Tinúviel dancing in the twilight'' by [[Alan Lee]]]]<br /> Tinwelint and Gwendeling had two children: [[Dairon]], a piper, and [[Tinúviel]], famed for her dancing. The two would often leave the caverns for the woods, where Dairon played his pipe and Tinúviel danced under the trees. One such time, [[Beren]], son of [[Egnor]] the Forester, a [[Gnome]] from beyond the northern hills in [[Hisilómë]] came into the woods of Artanor, and glimpsed the two Elves. The Gnomes were often taken in thraldom by Melko, where they heard lies regarding the Elves, but so taken was he by Tinúviel that he forgot all prejudices and watched her. Dairon glimpsed him and fled — for the Eldar were suspicious of the Gnomes, who had been slaves of Melko — and as Beren approached Tinúviel, she fled too. Then Beren spent many months searching for her until he found her dancing again from afar. She knew of this and smiled, and her fear departed her, seeing kindness in him. One day, he approached her and asked her to teach him to dance. &quot;Who art thou?&quot; she asked him, and he told her of himself. Then she danced through the forest, laughing, and Beren followed, until they came to the abode of Tinwelint.<br /> <br /> ===In the halls of Tinwelint===<br /> In front of King Tinwelint and Queen Gwendeling, Beren was speechless, and so was unable to answer when the king asked him who he was. Tinúviel answered on his behalf, saying he was a Gnome, and the king was wroth at this, asking her if he had harmed her. He then asked Beren what he desired before leaving the realm, and Beren replied &quot;Why, O king, I desire thy daughter, Tinúviel, for she is the fairest and most sweet of all maidens I have seen or dreamed of.&quot; Dairon laughed, breaking the silence of the hall, but the king replied in jest, saying he would ask &quot;a small price for such a small request&quot;, and proceeded to offer his daughter's hand in marriage for a [[Silmaril]] from the crown of Melko. Tales brought by the escaped thralls from [[Angamandi]] said that the crown containing [[Silmarilli|those jewels]] never left the head of Melko and that he prized them very highly; knowing the difficulty of this task, Beren in anger criticised the king for asking such &quot;a ''small'' price&quot; for Tinúviel, and said he would do this deed. Then he left, and Tinúviel wept because she believed her father had sent Beren to his death. Gwendeling said nothing on the matter, and did not question her daughter on why she was weeping for an unknown Gnome. <br /> <br /> ===Beren travels to Angamandi===<br /> In his rage, Beren marched to the [[Iron Mountains]] near to Angamandi before he began to weary. There, packs of orcs and other evil creatures roamed, and Beren thought about turning back, but in his heart he heard the weeping of Tinúviel. He was caught by orcs when searching for food, and was brought before Melko. <br /> <br /> There, the [[Ainu]] was angered and wondered how one of the Gnomes — which he thought of as his slaves by birth — had left his abode. Then Beren said he was of a kindred of the Gnomes of [[Aryador]] who had many dealings with [[Men]]. Melko was wrathful at this, because he hated the mingling of Elves and Men. Knowing the danger he was in, Beren claimed he had no friendship with Men and only wanted to serve Melko as a hunter of birds and animals. Flattered at this, for flattery was a weakness of his, Melko did not kill him and instead accepted him as a kitchen slave under [[Tevildo|Tevildo Prince of Cats]]. <br /> <br /> Beren was brought to the [[halls of Tevildo]], which were not far from Melko's abode. There, Tevildo set him the task of catching three mice in his halls as a test. These were of a wild and evil type, and Beren was unable to catch any, because he had no tools with which to devise a trap. Then Tevildo was angered and made him a scullion in the kitchens. Thus Beren's days were filled with misery, and he was starved of food and sleep, and wished he had never left Hisiliómë and seen Tinúviel dancing.<br /> <br /> ===Tinúviel's flight===<br /> After Beren departed Artanor, Tinúviel wept and no longer danced for she had grown to love him watching her dance. With the possibility of Beren's death in her mind, she asked her mother of Beren's situation, and from Gwendeling, she learned of his thraldom at the hands of Tevildo. Then she sought to go after him, but her mother dissuaded her, and Tinwelint was filled with anger and forbade her to think of Beren, and said he would slay him upon seeing him again. Tinúviel asked Dairon for help, however he refused, and went to the king in order to prevent Tinúviel from taking a reckless course of action. Then Tinwelint asked his daughter to promise not to think of Beren, or to follow after him by herself or with any of their people, but she said only that she would not tempt any of their people to follow her.<br /> <br /> [[File:Ted Nasmith - Lúthien Escapes the Treehouse.jpg|thumb|''Lúthien Escapes the Treehouse'' by [[Ted Nasmith]]]]<br /> Tinwelint was then wrathful, and somewhat afraid of the change that had overcome his daughter, and so he built a house for Tinúviel at the top of [[Hirilorn]], the Queen of Trees, above his cavernous halls, where he ordered her to stay until she became wise in this matter. There she had any provision she wished and a guard was placed at the bottom. For a time, she was happy there, but one night a dream of the [[Valar]] came to her of Beren, and she desired to find him. So she began devising a plan to escape. Asking her visitors to bring her clear water and wine, by her arts, she mixed the two and sang songs of growth. Then she put the mixture through her hair and sang a song of sleep. Her hair grew a huge amount, and cutting the extra growth, she wove a robe of magic soaked in sleep. With the remainder, she made a rope which she used to climb down from the top of the tree. The guards below fell into a slumber, and she escaped. <br /> <br /> She wandered the [[Taur-nu-Fuin (Dorthonion)|Forest of Night]], where [[Turambar and the Foalókë|Túrin would later slay Beleg]], and made her way closer to the regions of Melko. Though her journey was wearying, she was not exposed to the same dangers posed to Beren by virtue of her potent robe of slumber.<br /> <br /> Close to the abode of Melko, she came upon [[Huan]], Captain of the Dogs, chief foe of Tevildo, and he wondered at a lone elf-maiden wandering in such an evil place. She told him she was searching for Beren, who had been taken captive by Tevildo; Huan thought this to be the same Beren whom the hounds of Hisilómë knew as a friend, and so as she rested, Huan devised a plan. He told her to tell Tevildo that he was lying injured nearby, and so by feigning injury, he thought to slay the cat at unawares. Then Tinúviel made her way to the castle of Tevildo on the cliff-side, and Huan wondered much at her courage, until she came upon [[Umuiyan]], the doorkeeper of Tevildo. Insisting she had important news for the ears of Tevildo alone, the doorkeeper leapt up the terraces leading to the castle and began to weary due to the slumber-robe of Tinúviel. Before Tevildo, Tinúviel claimed her tidings were of a &quot;very mighty dog&quot; known to Tevildo and that they were best not told out in the open. So she was led inside his abode. Umuiyan, overcome by slumber, dropped to the ground, and Tevildo ordered he be thrown from the rocks; a great fear came upon Tinúviel then at the great cat's cold-heartedness. <br /> <br /> ===Huan and Tevildo===<br /> Coming to the dining chamber of Tevildo, she noticed a hatch which led to the kitchens. Through it, she saw Beren toiling over the fire. Then Tinúviel began to speak her tale loudly so her voice might carry to Beren, and she shouted she was Tinúviel, Princess of [[Fairies]]. Then a crash was heard in the kitchen, and she concluded that Beren had heard her. However, she had endangered herself, because Melko held the people of Tinwelint as enemies, and Tevildo purposed to hand her over to his master, but not before she told her tale. Thus, she told of Huan lying injured and helpless in the woods nearby, and how he tried to attack her when she had offered her assistance.<br /> <br /> These lies she told were the plan of Huan to lure out Tevildo, and indeed he tried to find out precisely where Huan was, but Tinúviel was vague about this. Eventually Tevildo agreed for Tinúviel to lead, and he took two of his great cats with him. One of these was [[Oikeroi]], a war-like thane. The three cats and Tinúviel came to the woods&lt;ref group=&quot;note&quot;&gt;In the &quot;typescript&quot; version of the tale, Huan feigns sickness in the [[Withered Dale]], where &quot;nought grew save low bushes of scanty leaves and withered grass.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and saw Huan lying on the ground. Then Tevildo was overeager in approaching Huan who sprang up and slew Oikeroi at unawares. The third cat fled, and Huan and Tevildo duelled fiercely until Huan had the cat by the throat. Then Tevildo scratched the eye of Huan and fled up a nearby tree. Having Tevildo cornered and wounded, Huan found out where Tinúviel and Beren were. Tevildo cast his golden collar down as a token to enter the castle, but Huan knew this would alert the servants, and so Tevildo was forced to reveal the spell told to him by Melko which held his servants under his sway. <br /> <br /> Tinúviel went back to the castle and spoke the spell; the castle trembled and Tevildo's servants came out diminished in size. Then [[Gimli (elf)|Gimli]], an aged Gnome came out, and so did Beren, holding a kitchen knife for fear of what he would find outside the castle. Seeing Tinúviel he was shocked, and she led him away from that place. Upon the return of Beren and Tinúviel from the castle, Huan let Tevildo go free, and feared the cats no more after that. When Melko heard what had occurred, he was wrathful with Tevildo and banished the cats. <br /> <br /> Beren and Tinúviel then departed that place with Huan, and formed a strong friendship with him. Beren regained his strength, and Tinúviel loved him. <br /> <br /> ===The claiming of a Silmaril===<br /> The three of them spent much time in the wild until Tinúviel began to yearn for home. Then Beren said he would only go back to the forests of Artanor with a Silmaril, but he despaired, being known to Tevildo. After much thought, he resolved to obtain a Silmaril with Tinúviel; she asked Huan for the hame of Oikeroi which he had been carrying with him. He gave it to her, although he thought the quest to be foolish. With her arts, she arrayed Beren in the fell of the great cat and taught him how to behave as a cat. Saying their goodbyes to Huan, they departed for Angamandi. <br /> <br /> [[File:Alan Lee - fluttering before his eyes, she wound a mazy-wingéd dance.jpg|thumb|''fluttering before his eyes, she wound a mazy-wingéd dance'' by [[Alan Lee]]]]<br /> Arriving at the gates, Tinúviel put on her magical robe of sleep. There they saw [[Karkaras]], the greatest wolf of the world. He did not pay much attention to the approaching cat, but he growled at Tinúviel, who cast him into a deep slumber by dancing a magical dance. Then Beren and Tinúviel entered Angamandi, and went down the twisting ways until they came into the hall of Melko.<br /> <br /> The two were fortunate Tevildo was not with Melko at the time, for then they would have been discovered. Beren slunk below the chair of Melko in fear of the evil things about him. But Tinúviel told Melko who she was, and the Ainu was amazed the daughter of Tinwelint came to him freely. She told him her father was an overbearing lord and she wished to dance for him. Then Melko accepted her offer to dance, and she began such a dance never before danced by sprite or [[fay]] or elf. Flitting across the hall, her robes brushed over the eyes of Melko, and all of Melko's folk fell into a slumber. But Melko was yet awake, though drowsy, and so Tinúviel danced quicker, and began to sing a potent song her mother taught her from the [[gardens of Lórien]] until Melko at last fell into a deep sleep, and the iron crown containing the Silmarils rolled away.<br /> <br /> Tinúviel then roused Beren, who removed the fell of Oikeroi, drew the kitchen knife, and began cutting the bonds holding the central jewel. As the jewel came free, the knife broke loudly and Melko stirred. Then being satisfied with one jewel, Beren and Tinúviel fled desperately to the surface. But arriving there, Karkaras was awake and questioned why Beren was leaving in such haste, having not seen him enter. Beren placed himself between the great wolf and Tinúviel, and struck him in the throat. But Karkaras bit off the hand of Beren, consuming it and the Silmaril. The jewel, suffering no evil touch, smote the innards of the wolf, and Karkaras howled, waking those slumbering in Melko's halls, and fled in pain. Beren and Tinúviel took flight then, and when they finally managed to stop, she healed his maimed arm. After this, Beren was named [[Ermabwed]], the One-handed. Melko's fury was aimed at those two then, and Tinúviel disguised them in her robes so they were not seen by Melko's orcs. <br /> <br /> ===Return to Artanor===<br /> Huan heard rumour of these events and was in wonder that his two friends had escaped Angamandi. He came with many of his dogs to the gloomy regions in the north of Artanor, [[Nan Dungortheb|Nan Dumgorthin]], and found Tinúviel and Beren laying down, bereft of hope. Taking them away, he shook loose the chasing packs of orcs and wolves and brought them to Artanor, inside the circle of Gwendeling's magic, and Tinúviel was glad. They rested for a time until one day Beren said he would leave, for he would not return to the halls of Tinwelint without the lost Silmaril. However Tinúviel said that her heart had changed and she would go with him wherever he went. Then Beren put aside his pride and decided to return to Tinwelint with Tinúviel. She asked Huan to go with them too. <br /> <br /> Approaching Tinwelint's halls, they found sorrow, for since Tinúviel had left, Tinwelint had been filled with grief, and the magic of Gwendeling had thinned. Dairon had not returned either, for when Tinúviel left, he went in search of her. Furthermore, they learned that a great grey wolf filled with evil had come, who slew many, and often drank from the stream by Tinwelint's halls as though some fire burned inside him.<br /> <br /> When Tinúviel returned to her mother and father, their sorrow left them. Tinwelint then turned to Beren and expected a Silmaril from him. At this, Tinúviel rebuked her father, but Beren said to Tinwelint &quot;I have a Silmaril in my hand even now.&quot; Then he showed his maimed arm and Tinwelint's heart grew warm towards Beren. After Tinúviel and Beren told their story, Tinwelint was amazed at Tinúviel's love and courage and begged Beren to stay with her. Beren said he would hold to his word and reclaim the Silmaril, and told him that the beast stalking the woods was Karkaras.<br /> <br /> [[File:Alan Lee - The Hunting of the Wolf.jpg|thumb|''The Hunting of the Wolf'' by [[Alan Lee]]]]<br /> Then a hunt of the beast commenced consisting of Tinwelint, Beren, Huan, and [[Mablung]] the heavy-handed, chief of the king's thanes. At sunset, they camped, but during Beren's watch, the beast came on them. Beren only barely had time to wake the others when Karkaras leapt towards him, recognising him as the cause of his own pain. The party slew the beast then but Beren's body was crushed under Karkaras' weight. Cutting the carcass open, Mablung took the Silmaril in wonder and the party brought Beren back to the king's halls, alive but mortally wounded. There Tinúviel met them in great anguish and wept on Beren and kissed him. Then he awoke, and Mablung gave him the Silmaril. He presented it to the king and said &quot;I give thee the wondrous jewel thou didst desire, and it is but a little thing found by the wayside, for once methinks thou hadst one beyond thought more beautiful, and she is now mine.&quot; Then his spirit fled his body and Tinúviel's kisses did not bring it back.<br /> <br /> ===Epilogue===<br /> At this, Vëannë stopped her telling of the Tale of Tinúviel and began to weep. She told Eriol the tale did not end there but she did not know the rest. Ausir claimed Tinúviel's kisses brought Beren back to life but another said that Tinúviel followed Beren to death and she so touched the cold heart of [[Mandos]] that he sent them back into the world as mortals. Vëannë said their deeds were great and they were named i·Cuilwarthon, the dead that live again. To all he had heard, Eriol said that it was a wondrous tale; in response, Vëannë told him that &quot;all the children know of it&quot;, and she had learned it by heart. <br /> <br /> Ausir then told Eriol of what happened to Huan. The dog refused to take any reward from Tinwelint and grieved for Tinúviel and Beren. Later, he and Mablung hunted together until the events surrounding [[Glorund]] and [[Túrin Turambar]]. Then Huan found Beren again and was involved in [[The Nauglafring|the deeds of the Nauglafring]].<br /> <br /> Vëannë then stopped and said it was time for the evening meat. <br /> <br /> ==Commentary==<br /> The first iteration of the Tale of Tinúviel was written by Tolkien in 1917.&lt;ref name=&quot;BL Introduction&quot;&gt;{{BL|Introduction}}&lt;/ref&gt; Notably, in this primary version, Beren was a Man. Tolkien erased this primary version and wrote over it, resulting in the earliest surviving version of the tale in the form of a &quot;manuscript&quot;,&lt;ref name=&quot;LT2 I p.3&quot;&gt;{{LT2|I}}, p. 3&lt;/ref&gt; in which he had changed Beren to be an Elf. Christoper Tolkien states that his father &quot;hesitated long on the matter of the elvish or mortal nature of Beren&quot;.&lt;ref name =&quot;LT2 In p. 52&quot;&gt;{{LT2|In}}, p. 52&lt;/ref&gt; Furthermore, a &quot;typescript version&quot; was created after the manuscript was written in which the core narrative is unchanged on the whole, although there are some differences (when compared to the manuscript), which are listed by Christopher Tolkien before the commentary on the tale begins. <br /> <br /> The Link which introduces the tale underwent revision as Tolkien altered the ordering of the various tales. At first, [[The Theft of Melko and the Darkening of Valinor]] and [[The Flight of the Noldoli]] were followed by this tale, however, Tolkien decided that [[The Tale of the Sun and Moon]] should replace it.&lt;ref name=&quot;LT2 I p.3&quot;/&gt; <br /> <br /> Much of the commentary on this tale is spent discussing the differences and similarities between the Tale and the subsequent versions of the story of Beren and Lúthien, most notably the Lay of Leithian and the story within The Silmarillion. Christopher Tolkien breaks this down by considering differences in the &quot;primary narrative&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{LT2|In}}, pp. 51-60&lt;/ref&gt; and the &quot;places and peoples&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{LT2|In}}, pp. 60-6&lt;/ref&gt; in the tale. He notes that the castle of the Cats is the narrative predecessor of [[Tol-in-Gaurhoth]], and notes the similarity between Oikeroi and Draugluin, especially with regards to Beren using their skins as a disguise.&lt;ref&gt;{{LT2|In}}, pp. 56-7&lt;/ref&gt; A selection of differences between the tale and later works is given below. <br /> <br /> Differences present in The Tale of Tinúviel when compared with later versions of the narrative include the following:<br /> * Tinúviel (Lúthien) wears silver-white&lt;ref&gt;{{LT2|I}}, p. 11&lt;/ref&gt; instead of sky-blue<br /> * Beren is an Elf rather than a Man<br /> * [[Tevildo]] is the first version of [[Thû]]/[[Sauron]]<br /> * The knife Beren uses to cut out the [[Silmaril]] is a kitchen-knife&lt;ref name=&quot;LT2 Tinuviel p. 33&quot;&gt;{{LT2|I}}, p. 33&lt;/ref&gt; of Tevildo rather than [[Angrist]]<br /> * Beren does not try to take all three Silmarils&lt;ref name=&quot;LT2 Tinuviel p. 33&quot;/&gt;<br /> * Tinúviel grows to love Beren over time during their adventure&lt;ref name=&quot;LT2 Tinuviel p. 30&quot;&gt;{{LT2|I}}, p. 30&lt;/ref&gt; rather than immediately after seeing him in [[Neldoreth]].&lt;ref name =&quot;LT2 In p. 52&quot;/&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{S|Beren}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * There is no notion of the character [[Finrod Felagund]]<br /> * [[Thorondor]] does not bear Beren and Tinúviel away from Angamandi<br /> * [[Beleg]] is absent in the hunting of Karkaras (Carcharoth)<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Beren and Lúthien]]<br /> *[[Of Beren and Lúthien]], the chapter in ''[[The Silmarillion]]''<br /> *[[The Lay of Leithian]]<br /> <br /> {{references|notes}}<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Tale of Tinuviel}}<br /> [[Category:Manuscripts by J.R.R.

The [[Evenstar]] falls from his grasp and shatters. At this he wakes to a soldier telling him [[Théoden]] is awaiting him. <br /> <br /> Aragorn enters the king's tent, where he sees Théoden conversing with the hooded rider.

Elrond calls upon Aragorn to call upon &quot;[[Dead Men of Dunharrow|those who dwell in the mountain]]&quot; to fight for him. Elrond tells him they will answer to the [[King of Gondor]] and flourishes [[Andúril]] — [[Narsil]] reforged. Aragorn takes it from him and draws it. &quot;Put aside the [[Ranger]].

This scene was extended in the latter edition.<br /> ==Synopsis==<br /> The [[Fellowship]] approach [[Moria]]. [[Gandalf]] discreetly asks [[Frodo]] how his shoulder feels (it was stabbed by the [[Witch-king]] at [[Weathertop]]) and tells him to beware, saying that he fears evil will be drawn towards Frodo both from outside and inside the Fellowship. <br /> <br /> They all come upon the walls of Moria. Gandalf notices ''[[Ithildin]]'' which shines in the light of the stars and moon to reveal the outline of a doorway and writing above the archway. He tells them it reads &quot;The [[doors of Durin]], Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter&quot;. Confident he knows the password to open the doors, Gandalf speaks, however they do not open. The Fellowship are forced to wait while Gandalf figures out how to open the doors. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, [[Aragorn]] helps [[Sam]] to ready [[Bill the Pony]] to be sent back homeward, saying that the mines are not the place for him to be in. [[Merry]] and [[Pippin]] begin to throw rocks into the water; Aragorn sees this and stops them, telling them ''&quot;Do not disturb the water&quot;'', while studying the water somewhat curiously as it begins to ripple in places. <br /> <br /> Frodo realises that the writing above the archway is a riddle, saying &quot;Speak 'Friend' and Enter&quot;. He asks Gandalf what the Elvish word for &quot;friend&quot; is; in response, Gandalf says ''&quot;[[mellon]]&quot;''. The doors open, and they all enter. [[Gimli]] tells [[Legolas]] he will soon be enjoying Dwarven hospitality. Gandalf lights the chamber up, revealing a multitude of skeletons on the floor. [[Boromir]] recognises the mines are now a tomb, and tells them all to get out. <br /> <br /> As the hobbits back out of the mines, Frodo is wrenched into the air by a large tentacle. Sam attacks the tentacle and calls for Aragorn, who, along with Boromir and Legolas, rescue Frodo from the grip of [[Watcher in the Water|the creature]]. Gandalf urges them all into the mines. Just as they all pass through the doors, the creature destroys the entrance trapping them inside. <br /> <br /> ==Differences==<br /> {{title}}<br /> [[Category:The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring scenes|33]]</div>

In addition to this, we should probably not base page names solely on Wikipedia and IMDB, as those two sites deal with so many people pages and would inevitably run into having pages about people with similarly sounding names. The first sentence of the Wikipedia page on the Adar actor does state his full name rather than what the title of the page states.[[User:Dour1234|Dour1234]] ([[User talk:Dour1234|talk]]) 14:43, 28 January 2023 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Image licensing==<br /> Hi. I notice that some of the images you have uploaded over the past few months are licensed as &quot;free software&quot; (examples [[:File:Sam Hazeldine.jpg|here]] and [[:File:Owain Arthur.jpg|here]]). It might be worth checking if this licensing is appropriate for images. Thanks.

[[Gollum]] is uneasy and Frodo resolves to enter. They see a legion of [[Easterlings]] marching towards the Black Gate, which is opened by [[trolls]]. Sam edges on to a rock for a better view but it crumbles down the hillside, causing him to fall. Two Easterlings see some commotion on the hillside and move to investigate. Frodo reaches Sam who is stuck; he covers both of them with his [[Elven cloak]], causing them to appear as a large rock. The Easterlings, unwittingly standing over the hobbits, see nothing odd and return to the army marching into [[Mordor]]. <br /> <br /> As the last Easterlings enter the Black Gate, Frodo makes to run into Mordor before the Gate can close, but Gollum stops him. <br /> {{blockquote|No! No! No master! They catch you! They catch you! Don’t take it to him. He wants the precious. Always he is looking for it. And the precious is wanting to go back to him.|Gollum}}<br /> Frodo tries to go to the Gate again, but again Gollum stops him, however this time, he tells Frodo that there is another way into Mordor — a darker and more secret way. Frodo asks him if there really is another way into Mordor.<br /> {{blockquote|Yes. There’s a path...and some stairs...and then...a tunnel.|Gollum}}<br /> At this, Frodo decides to go by Gollum's alternative path, even though Sam is strongly opposed to it.

Here at the end of all things, Sam|[[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] in ''[[The Return of the King]]'', &quot;[[Mount Doom]]&quot;}}&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Samwise Gamgee''', commonly known as '''Sam''', was [[Frodo Baggins]]' servant and the only original member of the [[Fellowship of the Ring]] to remain with him to the very end of the journey to [[Mount Doom]].<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> ===Early life===<br /> Samwise lived with his father, [[Gaffer Gamgee|Hamfast Gamgee]], better known as the &quot;Gaffer&quot;, on [[Bagshot Row]] in [[the Shire]], close to [[Bag End]]. Sam's mother was [[Bell Gamgee|Bell Goodchild]]; he had five siblings: [[Hamson Gamgee|Hamson]], [[Halfred Gamgee|Halfred]], [[Daisy Gamgee|Daisy]], [[May Gamgee|May]], and [[Marigold Gamgee|Marigold]]. <br /> <br /> A gardener by trade, Sam seemed to be a simple [[Hobbits|Hobbit]] of plain speech. He helped his Gaffer tending the garden of Bag End and was taught the art of rope making by his [[Hobson|grandfather]] and his uncle [[Andwise Roper|Andy]]. In his work at Bag-End, he was acquainted with [[Bilbo Baggins]]. Bilbo taught him [[tengwar|letters]], and nurtured his love for [[Elves]], poetry, and his belief that the world contains greater wonders than most hobbits are aware of. This set him apart from the beginning to the Gaffer's dismay.&lt;ref&gt;{{FR|Party}};{{TT|Taming}}&lt;/ref&gt; Sam often wandered outside [[Hobbiton]] and knew well the area twenty miles around.&lt;ref name=three&gt;{{FR|Three}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> On [[12 April]] Sam was in ''[[The Green Dragon]]'' and discussed with [[Ted Sandyman]] the strange rumours he heard around the Shire, including his [[Hal Gamgee|cousin Hal]] seeing a &quot;Tree-man&quot;, and the [[Elves]] who leave [[Middle-earth]]. Ted called his cousin crazy and dismissed all rumours. In the evening, he returned to [[the Hill]] thinking about the hard work he has to do when he saw [[Gandalf]] arriving to visit Frodo, after many years.&lt;ref name=shadow&gt;{{FR|Shadow}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Eavesdropping on Frodo and Gandalf===<br /> Sam was one of the &quot;[[Conspirators]]&quot; who were summoned by [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Merry Brandybuck]] in order to watch over [[Frodo Baggins]] and the [[The One Ring|Ring]] inherited by Frodo from Bilbo. Being the closest to Frodo, Sam was their &quot;chief investigator&quot; who was to eavesdrop on his talks with Gandalf the [[Wizards|Wizard]].&lt;ref&gt;{{FR|Conspiracy}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> He eavesdrops on Frodo and Gandalf's discussion while working at the garden of Bag End. It was when Gandalf revealed to Frodo that Bilbo's ring is [[Sauron]]'s One Ring, and on the mention that Frodo must leave the Shire, Sam choked. Initially suspected as a spy, Sam feigned innocent curiosity. Sam begged Gandalf not to turn him into anything &quot;unnatural&quot;. Sam then immediately asked to be taken to see Elves when they went away. Gandalf decided to make Sam Frodo's first companion.&lt;ref name=shadow/&gt; <br /> <br /> ===From Hobbiton to Crickhollow===<br /> Sam joined Frodo on his journey to [[Bree]] and [[Rivendell]], as to outside appearances as Frodo's gardener. He lied that he had the lightest baggage after Frodo complained about the weight of his, and he offered to take more. Sam and [[Peregrin Took|Pippin Took]] followed Frodo to his new house at [[Crickhollow]] and when they were encountered by [[Black Riders]] Sam mentioned that one of those was asking his father about Frodo. Later they met one of the [[Wandering Companies]] of Elves; the experience of meeting Elves the first time left him speechless (although they were different than he expected, ''&quot;so old and young, and so gay and sad, as it were,&quot;'' as Sam described them&lt;ref name=short&gt;{{FR|Mushrooms}}&lt;/ref&gt;); the hobbits camped with them and Sam was like in a living dream, mentioning it as one of the most important events of his life. He was enchanted especially by their singing.&lt;ref name=three/&gt; The Elves warned him not to leave Frodo on his journey, which Sam denied he would ever think about it.&lt;ref name=short/&gt;<br /> <br /> The next day Sam insisted that Pippin should leave some elven bread for their breakfast. That morning, Sam felt changed, feeling that he had to fulfill a role that lies beyond the Shire, something more important than meeting Elves or [[dragons]] or seeing mountains.&lt;ref name=short/&gt;<br /> <br /> At Crickhollow where his and the Conspirators' role was revealed. Merry joined the travellers on their way to Bree.<br /> <br /> ===Crickhollow to Bree===<br /> The hobbits decided to risk travelling through the [[Old Forest]] to avoid Black Riders. There [[Old Man Willow]] put a spell of sleepiness on the four hobbits. Once Merry and Pippin slept by the tree and Frodo bathed his feet in the [[Withywindle]], the willow tree tried to drown Frodo and swallowed Merry and Pippin, but Sam proved the most resistant. He saved Frodo from drowning and tried to start a fire to frighten Old Man Willow but the tree threatened to squeeze the hobbits in two if he did not put it out. They were saved by Tom Bombadil and stayed in his house for two days. Sam was the only hobbit who slept contentedly.&lt;ref&gt;{{FR|Forest}}; {{FR|Bombadil}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> They passed through [[Barrow-downs]] and came to [[the Prancing Pony]] at Bree where they were joined by &quot;[[Strider (Aragorn)|Strider]]&quot;. Sam did not trust the ranger at first, but Frodo accepted his help as they could not get to Rivendell otherwise. [[Sauron]]'s spies had opened the stables of the inn and all the mounts went loose, therefore before leaving the village, the company purchased a [[Ponies|pony]] from [[Bill Ferny]]. Sam loved and tended the animal, and named him [[Bill the Pony|Bill]], after his owner.&lt;ref&gt;{{FR|Sign}}; {{FR|Strider}}; {{FR|Knife}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Fellowship of the Ring===<br /> When they reached [[Rivendell]], Sam was beside Frodo's bed while he was recovering from the [[Morgul-wound]] he was inflicted on [[Weathertop]]. Sam eavesdropped on the [[Council of Elrond]] and revealing himself insisted that he accompany Frodo on his [[Quest of the Ring|quest to destroy the Ring]].&lt;ref&gt;{{FR|Many}}; {{FR|Council}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[File:John_Howe_-_Watcher_in_the_Water.jpg‎|thumb|150px|left|''Watcher in the Water'' by [[John Howe]]]]<br /> Sam insisted on bringing Bill along on the journey, saying he would pine if he did not come.&lt;ref&gt;{{FR|South}}&lt;/ref&gt; He was dismayed that they had to send him away when they entered [[Moria]]. Sam saved Frodo's life as the [[Watcher in the Water]] tried to seize him with one of its tentacles. Sam received a scratch along his scalp for his first orc kill in the mines.&lt;ref&gt;{{FR|Journey}};{{FR|Bridge}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In [[Lothlórien]], Sam made a verse in honour of Gandalf's fireworks. He, along with Frodo, looked into the [[Mirror of Galadriel]] where he saw trees being felled and that the Old Mill had been replaced by a large red-brick building. Sam considered going back to help those at home, but, being warned by [[Galadriel]] not to let the mirror decide his choices, Sam decided to finish his task with Frodo. At their parting from Lórien, Galadriel [[Gifts of Galadriel|gave]] Sam a [[Sam's garden box|box]] containing earth from her orchard.&lt;ref&gt;{{FR|Mirror}};{{FR|Farewell}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Journey to Mordor===<br /> At the [[Falls of Rauros]] Frodo tried to leave the Fellowship secretly by boat, but Sam pursued him and leapt into the water although he could not swim. Thus after the [[Breaking of the Fellowship]], Sam was the only member of the Fellowship to remain with Frodo.&lt;ref&gt;{{FR|Breaking}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> When [[Gollum]] joined up with them, Sam remained distrustful of his loyalty to Frodo, and treated him with disdain, and partially (though unintentionally) pushed Gollum to betray Frodo in [[Shelob's Lair]].{{citation needed}} <br /> <br /> As Sam, Frodo, and Gollum travelled, Sam began to worry about their food supplies running short and he, unlike Frodo, still thought of the return journey.&lt;ref&gt;{{TT|Passage}}&lt;/ref&gt; In [[Ithilien]], he decided to risk a fire and stew rabbit, but he accidentally let it smoke which attracted the attention of [[Faramir]] and his rangers who were also in that region. There, to Sam's delight, he got the chance to see an [[oliphaunt]]. Faramir took the hobbits to [[Henneth Annûn]] where Sam accidentally revealed the purpose of their quest, but Faramir did not hinder it and Sam judged his quality to be &quot;the very highest.&quot;, saying he reminded him of Gandalf.&lt;ref&gt;{{TT|Herbs}}; {{TT|Window}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Gollum led the hobbits to the [[Stairs of Cirith Ungol]], where Sam, in a conversation with Frodo, reflected on whether their adventure would be put in tales and songs to be told by a fireside and noted that they were part of a greater tale than themselves.&lt;ref&gt;{{TT|Stairs}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> Gollum betrayed the hobbits in [[Shelob's lair]], hoping to find the Ring among Frodo's bones once [[Shelob]] had eaten him. However, Sam pierced Shelob's flesh, being the first person ever to have done so, but not before Shelob seemingly killed Frodo.<br /> [[File:John Howe - Sam and Shelob.jpg|thumb|''Sam and Shelob'' by [[John Howe]]]]<br /> Grieving for Frodo, Sam took the Ring. At first, he was tempted to go on a quest for revenge on Gollum but instead chose to complete the quest. However, upon learning that Frodo still lived, he rescued him from the [[Tower of Cirith Ungol]] and returned the Ring to him. Because he held the Ring for a time, he is considered one of the [[Ring-bearers]].&lt;ref&gt;{{TT|Choices}};{{RK|Tower}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Together, Sam and Frodo crossed [[Mordor]] to [[Mount Doom]]. Sam himself carried Frodo up the slope for part of the way. There, Gollum tried to attack the hobbits and Sam spared his life now he had an idea of what it had been like for Gollum to be Ring-bearer—a choice which soon led to success in their quest. After the destruction of the Ring, both Sam and Frodo were honoured by [[Aragorn|King Elessar]] for their deeds. &lt;ref&gt;{{RK|Doom}}; {{RK|Field}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Later life===<br /> [[File:Ted Nasmith - Sam and Rosie Cotton.jpg|thumb|left|''Sam and Rosie Cotton'' by [[Ted Nasmith]]]]<br /> After the [[War of the Ring]], and the [[Scouring of the Shire]], Sam planted saplings in all the places where specially beautiful and beloved trees had been destroyed, and he put a grain of Galadriel's soil at the root of each. He was especially shocked that [[the Party Tree]] was cut down and planted a silver nut in the [[Party Field]] where it had once been, and the nut grew into a [[Mallorn]] tree. <br /> <br /> He married [[Rose Cotton|Rose &quot;Rosie&quot; Cotton]] on [[1 May]] {{SR|1420}}.&lt;ref&gt;{{App|Chief}}&lt;/ref&gt; In honor for restoring the Shire his family was given the name [[Gardner Family|Gardner]]. <br /> <br /> They had thirteen children: [[Elanor Gardner|Elanor the Fair]], [[Frodo Gardner|Frodo]], [[Rose Gardner|Rose]], [[Merry Gardner|Merry]], [[Pippin Gardner|Pippin]], [[Goldilocks Gardner|Goldilocks]], [[Hamfast Gardner|Hamfast]], [[Daisy Gardner|Daisy]], [[Primrose Gardner|Primrose]], [[Bilbo Gardner|Bilbo]], [[Ruby Gardner|Ruby]], [[Robin Gardner|Robin]], and [[Tolman Gardner|Tolman]]. When Frodo sailed on the [[White Ship]], at the end of the Third Age, Sam inherited Bag End and was entrusted the [[Red Book of Westmarch]].<br /> <br /> After [[Will Whitfoot]] resigned his post as [[Mayor of Michel Delving]] (the largest town in the Shire and the &quot;unofficial capital&quot;), in {{FoA|6}}, Sam was elected Mayor of the Shire for seven consecutive 7-year terms, during which time King Elessar appointed the Mayor as a [[Counsellor of the North-kingdom]]. In {{SR|1436}} he met King Elessar on the [[Brandywine Bridge]] and was awarded the [[Star of the Dúnedain]]. In {{SR|1442}} he left [[Tolman Cotton Junior]] as deputy Mayor so that he rode to Gondor with his wife and his daughter Elanor, maid of honour to Queen Arwen, to spend a year there. When Elanor married [[Fastred of Greenholm]], he requested from Thain Peregrin to make him [[Warden of Westmarch]] in {{SR|1462}}.&lt;ref name=later&gt;{{App|Later}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> After his wife died in {{FoA|61}}, on [[22 September]] Sam left Bag End, and went to the [[Tower Hills]] where he was last seen by Elanor, entrusting to her the Red Book; according to her, he went to the [[Grey Havens]] to sail across the Sea&lt;ref name=later/&gt; and be reunited with Frodo in the [[Undying Lands]].<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics==<br /> Sam has brown eyes. At some points his hands are described as brown.&lt;Ref&gt;{{TT|Stairs}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{RK|Tower}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> This could indicate he belongs to the [[Harfoots]], as they are described as having browner skin than the [[Fallohides]], to which breed Merry, Pippin and Frodo belong.&lt;ref&gt;{{FR|Hobbits}}&lt;/ref&gt; Or it could simply be a tan from years of working outside. His face is often described as red-faced, turning scarlet or blushing. At one point his face is said to have turned white, before flushing scarlet.<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> ''Samwise'' means &quot;simple minded&quot; or &quot;half-minded&quot;. ''Gamgee'' is explained as a corruption of the name ''[[Gammidgy]]'', a village in the Shire. Both names are presented as translations of the [[Westron]] form of Sam's name '''[[Banazîr]] [[Galbasi]]''' (''also spelled Banazîr Galpsi'') (q.v. for more information).&lt;ref&gt;{{App|Translation}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Tolkien's English translation, ''Samwís Gamwich'', could have come to ''Samwise Gamgee'' in modern English.<br /> <br /> The [[Sindarin]] version of Samwise is '''''[[Perhael]]'''''. In the [[King's Letter]], contained in the unpublished &quot;[[Epilogue]]&quot;, King Elessar refers to Sam as ''Perhael (i sennui Panthael estathar aen)'', Sindarin for &quot;Halfwise (who should rather be called Fullwise).&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Inspiration==<br /> [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] took the name from ''Gamgee Tissue'', a surgical dressing invented by a 19th century [[Birmingham]] surgeon called Joseph Sampson Gamgee. &quot;Gamgee&quot; became the colloquial name in Birmingham for cotton wool. Here, Tolkien describes why he had chosen that name for his character:<br /> {{blockquote|The choice of Gamgee was primarily directed by alliteration, but I did not invent it. It was caught out of childhood memory, as a comic word or name. It was in fact the name when I was small (in Birmingham) for 'cotton-wool'. (Hence the association of the Gamgees with the Cottons.) I knew nothing of its origin.|''[[The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien]]:'' [[Letter 257]]}}<br /> <br /> It is possible that Tolkien may have subconsciously recalled Dr. Gamgee (who died in 1886 but is commemorated by a plaque at the Birmingham Medical Institute, only yards from Tolkien's childhood home) but he claimed to be genuinely surprised when, in March 1956, he received a letter from one Sam Gamgee, who had heard that his name was in ''The Lord of the Rings'' but had not read the book. Tolkien replied on March 18:<br /> {{blockquote|Dear Mr. Gamgee,&lt;p&gt;It was very kind of you to write. You can imagine my astonishment when I saw your signature! I can only say, for your comfort, I hope, that the 'Sam Gamgee' of my story is a most heroic character, now widely beloved by many readers, even though his origins are rustic. So that perhaps you will not be displeased at the coincidence of the name of this imaginary character of supposedly many centuries ago being the same as yours.|''[[The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien]]:'' [[Letter 184]]}}<br /> <br /> He proceeded to send Mr Gamgee a signed copy of all three volumes of the book. However, the incident sparked a nagging worry in Tolkien's mind, as he recorded in his journal: <br /> {{blockquote|For some time I lived in fear of receiving a letter signed 'S. Gollum'. That would have been more difficult to deal with.|''[[J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography]]''}}<br /> <br /> ==Commentary==<br /> Sam is regarded by many{{fact}} to be the &quot;true hero&quot; of Tolkien's story. Tolkien himself expressed this view in one of his letters: Sam is referred to as the &quot;chief hero&quot;, and special emphasis is placed on his &quot;rustic love&quot; for Rosie.&lt;ref&gt;{{L|131}}&lt;/ref&gt; He was known for rescuing Frodo at [[Cirith Ungol]], and carrying him up [[Mount Doom]]. He was one of only two Ring-bearers strong enough to surrender the Ring voluntarily.<br /> <br /> The relationship between Frodo and Sam is, in many respects, at the centre of ''The Lord of the Rings''. Sam's humbleness and plain speaking are frequently emphasised in contrast to Frodo's gentility, and he often shows deference to Frodo, calling him &quot;Mister Frodo&quot; or &quot;Master&quot;. At the same time, a strong bond of love and trust grows between them, portrayed most poignantly during the events of Cirith Ungol, where Sam vows to return to his (apparently) dead master, to be reunited with Frodo in death. <br /> <br /> [[Tolkienists]] regard Sam as Frodo's ''[[wikipedia:Batman (army)|batman]]''. In the British Army, a batman was an orderly who acted as the personal servant of an officer. It was a role with which Tolkien (who served as an Army officer in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I First World War]) would have been extremely familiar. Sam undertakes all of the typical roles of a batman &amp;mdash; he runs errands for Frodo, cooks, transports him (or at least carries him), and carries his luggage. Tolkien confirmed this interpretation when he wrote in a private letter that:<br /> {{blockquote|My Sam Gamgee is indeed a reflection of the English soldier, of the privates and batmen I knew in the 1914 war, and recognized as so far superior to myself|''[[The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien]]''}}<br /> <br /> This may be compared to the relationship between [[wikipedia:Don_Quixote|Don Quixote]] and his squire, [[wikipedia:Sancho Panza|Sancho Panza]], and the gradual &quot;Quixotization&quot; of Sancho.<br /> <br /> ==In other stories==<br /> In the illustrated short story ''[[Mr. Bliss]]'', the local police officer is a Sergeant [[Boffin Family|Boffin]] who - at the behest of [[Gaffer Gamgee]] - seeks to lock up Mr Bliss as a thief for failing to pay for his car. Sergeant Boffin also has a son named Sam.&lt;ref&gt;[[J.R.R. Tolkien]], ''[[Mr. Bliss]]'' (2011 edition), p. 62&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Portrayal in adaptations==<br /> {{Gallery<br /> |title=Samwise Gamgee in adaptations<br /> |height=150<br /> |width=200<br /> |lines=3<br /> |File:The Lord of the Rings (1978 film) - Sam Gamgee.png|Sam in [[The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (1978 film)]]<br /> |File:The Return of the King (1980 film) - Samwise Gamgee.jpg|Sam in [[The Return of the King (1980 film)|''The Return of the King'' (1980 film)]]<br /> |File:The Lord of the Rings (film series) - Samwise Gamgee.jpg|Sam in [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (film series)]]<br /> |File:The Lord of the Rings Online - Samwise Gamgee.jpg|Sam in ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]''<br /> |File:Lego - Sam mini figure.png|Sam as a ''[[Lego]] mini figure''<br /> }}<br /> <br /> '''1955: [[The Lord of the Rings (1955 radio series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (1955 radio series)]]:'''<br /> :[[Victor Platt]] provided the voice of Sam.<br /> '''1978: [[The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (1978 film)]]:'''<br /> :[[Michael Scholes]] was the voice of Sam, and [[Billy Barty]] played him in rotoscoped footage. <br /> <br /> '''1979: [[The Lord of the Rings (1979 radio series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (1979 radio series)]]:'''<br /> :The voice of Sam is provided by [[Lou Bliss]].<br /> <br /> '''1980: [[The Return of the King (1980 film)|''The Return of the King'' (1980 film)]]:'''<br /> :[[Roddy McDowall]] provided the voice of Sam.<br /> <br /> '''1981: [[The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (1981 radio series)]]:'''<br /> :A young [[Bill Nighy|William Nighy]] portrays Sam as a warm and caring person.

[[Gandalf]] tells [[Aragorn]] to lead the others on, saying there is nothing the others can do against this foe.

''&quot;You cannot pass!&quot;'' Gandalf cries. The Balrog cracks it's whip and attacks Gandalf, who blocks it with a shield as the Fellowship look on desperately. With a look of grim determination, Gandalf breaks the bridge and the Balrog falls into the darkness below. Gandalf, his strength seemingly spent, sighs in exhaustion. As he turns, the falling balrog cracks its whip around Gandalf's legs, causing him to fall down. Hanging onto the edge of the bridge by his fingertips, he sees the others watching him.

Atop a rise, he sees a huge number of [[orcs]] marching in formation. Shocked at this, he rides Brego at a canter until he reaches [[Helm's Deep]]. <br /> <br /> Inside the keep, rumour spreads ahead of Aragorn that he is alive and has arrived. [[Gimli]] approaches and is overjoyed to see him alive. He tells Aragorn where [[Théoden]] is, and on his way to the king, Aragorn encounters [[Legolas]], who returns the [[Elessar|Evenstar]] to him. [[Éowyn]] watches this from a distance. <br /> <br /> Aragorn opens the doors to the hall where Théoden is, and tells him that at least ten thousand orcs are marching on Helm's Deep from [[Isengard]], and that they will arrive by nightfall, much to the shock of Théoden. In response to this, Théoden begins preparing Helm's Deep for the coming battle. <br /> {{blockquote|I want every man and strong lad able to bear arms to be ready for battle by nightfall. We will cover the causeway and the gate from above. No army has ever breached the Deeping Wall or set foot inside the Hornburg!|[[Théoden]]}}<br /> <br /> Gimli urges Théoden not to underestimate the [[Uruk-hai]] they will meet in battle, and Aragorn implores him to send out riders, saying that [[Gondor]] will come to their aid. In anger, Théoden insists Gondor have not aided Rohan in the past and will not do so now. He continues preparations for the coming battle as a group of crows gather above the keep. <br /> <br /> [[Category:The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers scenes|43]]</div>

He politely refuses, and she offers it to [[Aragorn]], who accepts it graciously. However, upon taking his first spoonful, he registers it is not as nice as he thought it might be. Regardless of this, he tells Éowyn it is good and as she turns around, he begins spilling it. <br /> <br /> She turns back to Aragorn, whose hands have been somewhat singed by the spilled stew, and asks if he truly did ride to war with [[Thengel]], as [[Théoden]] has told her. <br /> {{blockquote|King Théoden has a good memory. He was only a small child at the time.|[[Aragorn]] to [[Éowyn]]}}<br /> Éowyn is shocked by this. Aragorn tells her he is eighty-seven years old. She quickly realises he is one of the [[Dúnedain]]. He tells her there are very few of the Dúnedain left. At this, she apologies and bids him eat the stew, continuing to stand next to him, giving him little choice but to do so. <br /> <br /> [[Category:The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers scenes|32]]</div>

This scene was extended in the latter edition.<br /> {{title}}<br /> ==Synopsis==<br /> At night during the journey from [[Edoras]] to [[Helm's Deep]], [[Aragorn]] sits smoking his pipe, deep in thought. The scene transitions to a flashback of Aragorn lying down in [[Rivendell]]. Arwen bends down to kiss him. He tells her &quot;You told me once that this day would come.&quot; In response, she tells him that his path is to go with [[Frodo]]. As they stand together, he expresses his uncertainty. She touches the [[Elessar|evenstar]] hanging around his neck, and comforts him in his doubt. <br /> {{blockquote|Ae ú-esteliach nad... estelio han. Estelio ammen. &lt;br /&gt; (If you trust nothing else... trust this. Trust us.)|[[Arwen]] to [[Aragorn]]}}<br /> Aragorn takes her hand and they kiss each other. <br /> <br /> The flashback ends and Aragorn is walking through [[Rohan]] with [[Éowyn]], the evenstar hanging around his neck. Éowyn asks him of the woman who gave him the jewel. <br /> <br /> Aragorn recalls speaking with [[Elrond]] before setting out from Rivendell with the [[Fellowship of the Ring]]. Elrond beseeches him to let Arwen go to Valinor where her love for him will endure forever. Aragorn points out that it will only be a memory there. Elrond sternly tells Aragorn that he will not let his daughter [[Gift of Men|die]]. Aragorn takes leave of Elrond and prepares to join the Fellowship. Arwen emerges from a side path and asks why he is trying to leave unnoticed. He tells her that he will not be coming back.<br /> {{blockquote|Idhren emmen menna gui ethwel. Hae o auth...a nîr...a naeth. &lt;br /&gt; (You have a chance for another life. Away from war...grief...despair.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I am mortal. You are Elf-kind.|[[Aragorn]] to [[Arwen]]}}<br /> He tells her their love was nothing more than a dream and tries to return the evenstar to her. She says she does not believe him and staunchly bids him keep the jewel, saying that it was a gift. <br /> <br /> The flashback ends and Éowyn breaks Aragorn away from his memory. He answers her earlier question by telling her that the woman who gave him the jewel is sailing to [[Valinor]] with [[Elves|her kin]]. <br /> <br /> [[Category:The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers scenes|33]]</div>
