🧙Gandalf... rude?

[Theoden]

Just a question... I was reading The Hobbit again and I got the impression the at the beginning, Gandalf was quite rude. Now, if we don't look at the fact that Bilbo ended up enjoying the adventure and he became very respected amungst the elves and dwarves, it seems that Gandalf was high handed in how he treated Bilbo. Comments?

I allways just assumed he was acting like an Oxford Professor...*giggle*

 

[Anarchist]

Yes I noticed that too Theoden. He was very rude indeed but I guess he knew what he was doing. He just had to be rude to put Bilbo into the adventure and wake up his Tookish part.

BTW ReadWryt that's a cool logo.

gee, i never though of readwryt as the type to *giggle*. oh well, u learn something new everyday.

There must by some suppressed story about RW and as Oxford proffessor, it will all come out in therapy

Wandering the World homeless and alone is not condusive to politeness. "Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards!"

He didn't even learn politeness after the thrashing he received from the Balrog. After he won that fight he was no less unbearablle.

 

[Gil-Galad]

I think he had to be rude.If he wasn't rude Bilbo would never go out of his home.Gandalf did what he had to do.

 

[LadyGaladriel]

well, sometimes he has to be rude. sometimes i'm rude. heck, everyone is rude!!! don't get mad at gandalf!! he's cool!!! and if he wasn't rude, sauron probably would've won the war of the ring and killed eveyone!!! so rudeness is (sometimes) good!!!

 

[Legolas_lover12]

[GtG]

He's not rude, just cynicle. okay, just joking. Even if he was rude, he always has good reason.

Hello

 

[Darth Saruman]

Gandalf has the welfare of Middle-earth on his shoulders, so he's not too concerned with friendliness and I don't blame him.

 

[Legolas_lover12]

yes, i wouldn't be worried about being friendly either.

of course he's rude he's Gandalf

 

[Ariana Undomiel]

I don't think that Gandalf was rude. He was forceful in his wisdom, but not rude. He was a caretaker of many things and many problems were his business. Nor was he arrogant. He was simply greatness that was for a long time hidden and disguised as an old man who was scorned by some and praised by those who really knew him.

[pohuist]

He's definitely neither rude nor arrogant on my scale.

 

[Theoden]

Well, it seems that most people would agree that he is rude, but perhaps Ariana is right. Maybe he is just so focused on getting ME out of trouble, that he has little time to think of weather or not to scratch up a cute green door or ask before inviting 13 dwarfs over etc.

scratch up a cute green door or ask before inviting 13 dwarfs over etc.

Bilbo was so pleased with that too .

 

[Theoden]

What do you mean by that, LadyGaladriel?
