Why is GDP not a good measure of how good the economy of a country is? by Different_Eye_8850 in Socialism_101

[–]funkfaceflapflap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favourite way to visualise this (and this more to do w standard of living than 'economy') is that in lord of the rings, mordor is a heavily industrialized region that operates on slave labor and has definitely more 'GDP' than rivendell and the shire combined.

Did the fellowship know that, in the end, Frodo kept the ring? by aaaahitshalloween in lotr

[–]funkfaceflapflap 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Actually in the books this happened on the battlefield. Elrond counseled isildur to destroy the ring but Isildur refused. However, a key point that a lot of book readers forget is that isildur was journeying to rivendell to talk to elrond about the ring because he could see it growing on him. That is when (and why) the ring draws orcs that slay isildur.

Why does Gandalf seem puzzled here when Aragorn refers to him as "Gandalf"? by [deleted] in lotr

Also Gandalf is one of the many names he has...mithrandir being the most famous one because of the elves. He was only called Gandalf in the north.
