J.R.R. TolkienHis greatest achievement is probably the fact that he made us believe that a little hobbit could destroy Sauron, the most evil and powerful being in Middle-earth. Sauron is without a doubt one of the scariest creations in all of literature, and he doesn’t even need to appear in physical form in a book or movie to elicit fear in audiences and heroes alike. Actually, look at him Lord of the Rings: Ring of Power I was shocked because it was so scary. Charlie Vickers was able to portray this character by giving the villain an irresistible smugness that gives the villain a sense of unyielding power over restraint and reason. However, despite Sauron’s overwhelming power, perhaps His most embarrassing defeat is also his least known.
Juan is one of the great heroes of Tolkien’s The Silmarillion.
Huan was the hound of Celegorm, one of the elves who left Valinor, and was given a prophecy similar to the fate that all Noldor elves would face. Silmarillion Juan said he was told he would not die “until I meet the strongest wolf that ever walked the world.” Juan was to fulfill this prophecy in the story of Beren and Lúthien, when he and the elf maiden Lúthien traveled to Sauron’s werewolf island to rescue his human lover Beren. Sauron, himself a shapeshifter, transforms into a giant wolf and attacks the two, but Lúthien cast a spell, giving Juan the chance to grab Sauron’s neck with his fangs. Until Sauron is forced into submission. Even though the aid given to Juan was small, Sauron would have definitely been too overwhelming for him, so why didn’t he do that?
good, Juan has a pretty mysterious power scale Compare it to other characters throughout Tolkien’s lore. He could possibly be on the same level as Sauron, the same Maia as Gandalf (sir ian mckellen) and Saruman (christopher lee) is also available. This is because he is said to be a gift from Orome, one of the 15 Valar, and imbued with certain powers befitting a Valar companion. However, Sauron’s power is probably closer to the Valar than the Maia, so Huan’s victory is still shocking. This was due to Sauron’s obsession with perfection and violation of the natural order, which increased his power but also pushed him further away from divinity.

Juan’s victory fits into the broader meaning of Tolkien’s lore
Tolkien’s writings always say this. The weak deliver the greatest blow against evildue to its tenacity and kind nature, the loyal dog thoroughly personifies it. Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) While he could have defeated Sauron for good, Juan probably had a more impressive feat, defeating Sauron one-on-one against characters like Gandalf and even Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), as shown in ring of powerI tremble at the thought of meeting Sauron. As mentioned above, Tolkien’s ability is that we have the potential to play some major role in the story of our lives, and that no matter what, it is always right to do more good than evil. It gives us courage.
It is unlikely that the story of Beren and Lúthien will be adapted, so it is also unlikely that we will see Juan’s feat of defeating Sauron in battle. But Tolkien definitely didn’t write these stories because he was looking for a full-fledged story like this: hobbit adventure and lord of the ringsbut so that you can read or watch these stories with the knowledge of everything that has ever happened. Knowing that Juan’s underdogs have conquered great evil before allows us to maintain hope as we read about the courage of the hobbits and, by extension, in our own courage.
