During the events of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, the Dark Lord Sauron - the primary antagonist - controlled his minions from within the tower of Barad-dûr in his land of Mordor. Thus he was never physically seen by the main characters. However, he did sometimes confront them from a distance, and in those cases he was often perceived as an "Eye". The most notable example may be found in The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume of The Lord of the Rings as originally printed. Frodo Baggins has a vision of the Eye in the Mirror of Galadriel: The Lord of the Rings is an epic high fantasy novel written by the English academic J. R. R. Tolkien. ... It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Eye of Sauron. ... Barad-dûr and Mount Doom in Peter Jacksons film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. ...

Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings, the Mirror of Galadriel is a basin filled with water in which one may see visions of the past, present and future. ... Galadriel is a fictional character created by J. R. R. Tolkien, appearing in The Lord of the Rings. ...

"The Eye was rimmed with fire, but was itself glazed, yellow as a cat's, watchful and intent, and the black slit of its pupil opened on a pit, a window into nothing."[1]

In the book, there are many other instances where Sauron is referred to as the "Red Eye" - which have led some, such as filmmaker Peter Jackson, to assume that it was his physical form. However, a closer reading shows that the "Eye" was a metaphysical reflection of his piercing will. Peter Jackson CNZM (born October 31, 1961) is a New Zealand filmmaker best known as the director of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, which he, along with Fran Walsh, his long time partner, and Philippa Boyens, adapted from the novels by J. R. R. Tolkien. ... Plato (Left) and Aristotle (right), by Raphael (Stanza della Segnatura, Rome) Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the ultimate nature of reality, being, and the world. ...


In the second volume, The Two Towers, Tolkien writes: The Two Towers is the second volume of J. R. R. Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings. ...

"The Eye: that horrible growing sense of a hostile will that strove with great power to pierce all shadows of cloud, and earth, and flesh, and to see you: to pin you under its deadly gaze, naked, immovable."[2]

In the same volume, Gollum (who has been previously been tortured in Mordor) states that Sauron has, at least, a hand: Gollum is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkiens legendarium. ...

"...said Frodo. 'It was Isildur who cut the finger off the enemy.'

'Yes, he has only four on the Black Hand, but they are enough,' said Gollum shuddering."[3]

In the third volume, The Return of the King, the heralds of the Army of the West call Sauron out before the Battle of the Morannon: The Return of the King is the third and final volume of J. R. R. Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings, following The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers. ... Combatants Gondor, Rohan, Eagles Mordor, Harad, Rhûn Commanders Gandalf, Imrahil, Éomer, Aragorn, Gwaihir Sauron†, Mouth of Sauron*, Khamûl† Strength Less than 6,000 Men of Gondor and Rohan, one Wizard, one Hobbit, one Elf, two Half-elves, one Dwarf, and an unknown number of Eagles Eight Nazgûl...

"'Let the Lord of the Black Land come forth! Justice shall be done upon him.'"[4]

This would seem redundant if Sauron did not actually have a body.


Furthermore, Tolkien writes in The Silmarillion that "the Eye of Sauron the Terrible few could endure" even before his body was slain and lost in the War of the Last Alliance.[5] The Silmarillion is a collection of J. R. R. Tolkiens works, edited and published posthumously by his son Christopher Tolkien, with assistance from Guy Gavriel Kay, who would later become a noted fantasy fiction writer. ... The Last Alliance of Elves and Men is an episode in J.R.R. Tolkiens fictional universe of Middle-earth. ...


This concept of the Eye is supported by a similar comment about the first Dark Lord Morgoth (Sauron's mentor) in Morgoth's Ring, part of The History of Middle-earth: Morgoth Bauglir (originally known as Melkor) is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth legendarium. ...

The History of Middle-earth is a 12-volume series of books published from 1983-1996, that collect and analyse material relating to the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, compiled and edited by his son, Christopher Tolkien. ...

"...Morgoth held the Orcs in dire thraldom; for in their corruption they had lost almost all possibility of resisting the domination of his will. So great indeed did its pressure upon them become ere Angband fell that, if he turned his thought towards them, they were conscious of his 'eye' wherever they might be."[6] In J. R. R. Tolkiens fictional world of Middle-earth, Angband (Sindarin for Hells of Iron, although the literal meaning is iron prison) is the name of the fortress of Melkor, constructed before the First Age, located in the Iron Mountains in the enemys realm Dor Daedeloth north...

Tolkien writes that Morgoth had a huge but humanoid form during the First Age,[7] so "eye" (notably put in quotation marks) here must clearly refer to his will. The similarity between this description and the many references to Sauron's "Eye" is striking, which makes the author's true intent clear. In the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, the First Age began with the awakening of the Elves, and ended with the final overthrow of Morgoth by the combined armies of Valinor and Beleriand. ...



Also, in one of his letters Tolkien clearly states that Sauron had a physical form: ... The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien (ISBN 0-618-05699-8) is a selection of J. R. R. Tolkiens letters published in 1981, edited by his son Christopher Tolkien and the biographer Humphrey Carpenter. ...

"...in a tale which allows the incarnation of great spirits in a physical and destructible form their power must be far greater when actually physically present. ... Sauron should be thought of as very terrible. The form that he took was that of a man of more than human stature, but not gigantic."[8]

Despite the non-physical nature of the Eye, it was Sauron's primary representation in the Third Age. Sauron's Orcs bore the symbol of the Eye on their helmets and shields, and referred to him as such because he did not "permit [his name] to be spelt or spoken" according to Aragorn[9] (a notable exception to this rule was the Mouth of Sauron). Also, the Lord of the Nazgûl threatened Éowyn with torture before the "Lidless Eye"[10] at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. For other uses, see The Third Age. ... Aragorn II, son of Arathorn II, is an important character from J. R. R Tolkiens legendarium. ... In J. R. R.

Since that the spiritual nature of the Eye of Sauron is firmly established, his presence as the Lidless Eye is reminiscent of the concept of an astral projection, a spiritual emanation capable of exerting influence and surveillance upon the physical world. Astral projection (or astral travel) is an interpretation of an out-of-body experience achieved either awake or via lucid dreaming or deep meditation. ...


The Eye of Sauron was mentioned and homaged in The Stand a post- apocalyptic novel written by Stephen King. The villain from the novel, Randall Flagg possess an astral projection in the form of an "Eye" very akin with the Lidless Eye. The novel itself was conceived by King as a "fantasy epic like The Lord of the Rings, only with an American setting". The Stand is a post-apocalyptic horror novel by Stephen King originally published in 1978. ... Stephen Edwin King (born September 21, 1947) is an American author of over 200 stories including over 50 bestselling horror novels. ... Randall Flagg. ...

"It was nearly midnight on the evening of September 17. Randall Flagg was in the desert, wrapped in three blankets, from toes to chin. A fourth blanket was swirled around his head in a kind of burnoose, so that only his eyes and the tip of his nose were visible. Little by little, he let all thoughts slip away. He grew still. The stars were cold fire, witchlight. He sent out the Eye.

He felt it separate from himself with a small and painless tug. It went flying away, silent as a hawk, rising on dark thermals. Now he had joined with the night. He was eye of crow, eye of wolf, eye of weasel, eye of cat. He was the scorpion, the strutting trapdoor spider.He was a deadly poison arrow slipping endlessly through the desert air. Whatever else might have happened, the Eye had not left him. Flying effortlessly, the world of earthbound things spread out below him like a clockface".

In Peter Jackson's movies, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Jackson envisions Sauron as being originally a huge figure clad in black armour (reminiscent of Morgoth) as seen in the prologue to the first film, and later, as a spirit-like being who cannot yet take bodily form. Sauron's only physical presence after his body is destroyed is as a giant disembodied red flaming eye, seen in the next two movies as floating on top of Barad-dûr, suspended by its twin parapets (both the tower and the Eye are vaguely seen together in a vision of Frodo's in the first film). This differs substantially from the situation in the book as described above, and interviews with Jackson may imply that the difference is based on an honest misreading of Tolkien's intent, as Jackson repeatedly refers to Sauron as "just a giant floating eyeball". However, Sauron's physical form appears in a palantír in the Extended Edition of The Return of the King; this form is apparently identical to Sauron's body in the prologue, and may or may not indicate that he has re-embodied himself by this point. Peter Jackson CNZM (born October 31, 1961) is a New Zealand filmmaker best known as the director of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, which he, along with Fran Walsh, his long time partner, and Philippa Boyens, adapted from the novels by J.

The Eye is "constantly moving", seeking out all that moves in Sauron's domain of Mordor. The effect of the Eye in Mordor is seen as a red beam that moves across the land, forever probing. It also seems to be visible to Frodo (and to see him in turn) any time that he is wearing the Ring. The Eye is referred to as having the capability to "see all", although that must be meant as a term of fear and not literally; Sauron is not aware of all events that occur in Middle-earth, because he can only observe a single location at a time, rather like a lighthouse scanning the seas. Some Tolkien fans dislike this "lighthouse of Mordor" interpretation (with the Eye shining a ray of light while searching for the One Ring), which showed itself in full in the third movie.
