   This is both tragic and powerfully persuasive, this vision of Frodo.
At his worst moment in Mordor he can remember nothing, but at his worst
moment in the Shire he can remember everything.    

ohhhhhhh! yesss 😐 i didn’t even think of that! tho it must have been in my subconscious because that shire + memory connection is such a strong strand of his whole ordeal…

   this is really interesting, and feels really spot-on    

i’m glad it feels right to you, i don’t think i’ve solidified or thought it all through properly yet. saruman is one of those characters i don’t think about often, but when i do there’s a lot of weird junk in there.

  Congratulations, you’ve managed to make me sad
about Saruman, which I suspected was possible but had no idea how it
could be done.  Thanks for that lovely start to the week 😛            
     

was it that sympathetic? i had no idea! but thanks.

This is super interesting brooding to me! I
think his cruelty towards the Shire and Frodo is also specifically about
Gandalf. How every single thing that he has identified as weakness in
Gandalf turned out to be a strength. I think he really *despises*
Gandalf (and loves, and hates him).                    

yeah he’s definitely very obsessed with gandalf too, i think precisely for the reasons you enumerate!
