Yes, JRRT's Saruman is as Orwellian as anything Orwell himself ever wrote (I've only read "Animal Farm" - which is, to my taste, quite insulting to pigs ... 😈 ).

Hum. it would appear Orwell has written a fair few things - quite a bit more than I was aware of.
Perhaps I should divert a little attention his way at some point.
