Video Description

Did Saruman the White ever know about Tom Bombadil? And if he did, how would the most powerful wizard in Middle-earth judge the mysterious Master of the Old Forest? In this deep dive into Tolkien's legendarium, we explore one of the most fascinating questions that connects two of the most enigmatic figures in The Lord of the Rings. Saruman, the head of the White Council, spent centuries gathering knowledge and seeking power. Tom Bombadil, the Eldest, sits contentedly in his forest realm, completely immune to the One Ring's corruption. Drawing from The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and Tolkien's letters, we examine: Whether Saruman ever received reports about Tom through the White Council How Saruman's obsession with the Rings of Power would blind him to Tom's true nature Why Tom's immunity to the Ring would terrify or confuse Saruman The fundamental incompatibility between Saruman's philosophy of domination and Tom's contentment What Saruman's likely dismissal of Tom reveals about his own corruption This isn't just about two characters—it's about two completely opposite approaches to power, wisdom, and existence in Middle-earth. One pursued mastery over all things and lost himself. The other mastered only himself and remained free. Join us for an exploration of power, corruption, wisdom, and the choices that define us in Tolkien's world.
