I can see Saruman here, slowly becoming more and more corrupted as the time passes.

blslarner June 21 2011, 23:34:34 UTC

Exactly. He started off quietly enough, and found a good deal of satisfaction--just not quite enough, I fear, for anyone's sense of well-being, not even his own.

That's a marvelous look back in time.

Oh, I'm so glad you think so, Janet. It's fun to examine certain times and characters, and these challenges are offering marvelous chances to do just that.

What a wonderful thing to do - curl up with a good book in a comfortable chair. I find myself a bit envious...

As am I. Now it's more likely I'm curling up with the laptop....

I like these glimpses at Saruman before he becomes so fully corrupted.

blslarner June 21 2011, 23:36:40 UTC

I fear this is the last of the more peaceful, kinder, gentler Saruman. Enjoy it while you may! Heh!

I like this glimpse into Saruman.

blslarner June 21 2011, 23:37:25 UTC

He's lent himself well to the theme, I find. Not quite corrupt as yet, so basically likable.

You write him so very well at this stage.
