poutineisdelicious: xekstrin: majere636: arachnofiend: marapetsrules: bobfoxsky: “You fool. No man can kill me.” How many times am I allowed to reblog this before it gets weird? Fun facts: Tolkien constructed this scene because he came out of Macbeth thinking that Shakespeare had missed a golden opportunity with the ”Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn the power of man, for none of woman born shall harm Macbeth” prophecy Being letdown by Macbeth is apparently a significant factor in Tolkien’s writing because the Ent/Huorn attack on Isengard was the result of his disappointment that the whole “til Birnam Wood come to Dunsinane” thing was just some dudes holding sticks and not actual ambulatory trees. so he basically took his favorite shakespeare headcanons and put them into his AU fic This revelation just knocked me over. -- source link
