Okay...I'd like to know. Was it Saruman or Gandalf by the edge of Fangorn Forest? It almost seems like Tolkien wrote as it could be either one, because the horses sounded "happy" according to Legolas, (Gandalf), but the old man did not acknowledge Aragorn or anything. Who was it?


Gandalf said it wasnt him so i think it was Saruman... i'll get my book an quote if you like??? :-D

Yes, but someone pointed out in an earlier post that Gandalf couldn't even remember his own name.

Quote:
"Gandalf... Gandalf, yes, that was what they used to call me."


[Not the exact quote.] He might not have remembered if he was there by the forest or not, and that is why he may not have answered either. :)

He probably did.

Or maybe he made it so that some of us would think one thing and others would think another so that we could have these discusssions. :P


Of what I've heard, Tolkien made the books purely for his own enjoyement and didn't think of the commercial prospects, and if that's the case, he would know the answer and probably wouldn't have bothered giving too many explanations.

Yes, but he was called Gandalf in a "past life". So it is entirely probable that he wouldn't remember it. However, he would've had to be walking by Fangorn in "this" life. So he would have remembered it. He's old, but he isn't senile.
