Sauron Had a Body During The Lord of The Rings? - Lord of The Rings Explained

Did Sauron actually have a physical body during The Lord of the Rings, or was he really just the giant fiery Eye we see watching over Mordor? Peter Jackson’s movies created one of the most iconic images in fantasy with the Eye of Sauron atop Barad-dûr. But Tolkien’s description of Sauron during the Third Age is considerably more complicated. In this video, we look at what J.R.R. Tolkien actually wrote about Sauron’s physical form after his defeat by the Last Alliance, whether Sauron was capable of rebuilding a body without possessing the One Ring, and the evidence that he had taken physical form again by the time of the War of the Ring. We’ll examine Gollum’s revealing description of Sauron’s Black Hand, what Tolkien meant by the Eye of Sauron, Sauron’s return as the Necromancer of Dol Guldur, and the difference between Tolkien’s Sauron and the version portrayed in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy. So what was actually sitting inside Barad-dûr during The Return of the King? And if Sauron had a body, what did he look like? Let’s get into one of the most misunderstood questions about the Dark Lord. #LordOfTheRings #Sauron #Tolkien #LOTR #MiddleEarth #EyeOfSauron 1.
