: : LOTR is an independent work of art, and is there fore a self : : contained work. And the Balrogs wings are only mentioned in the : : chamber of the bridge. I agreee that here Tolkien does state : : that the Balrog has wings, but the fact remains that no matter : : how convincing your arguements are, no matter how narrow the : : chamber, the Balrog never flies. Not once.: Do you believe Orcs are corrupted Elves? If so, on what in the LORD OF THE RINGS do you base that belief? I base that belief from page 89 in the Two Towers, where Treebeard tells Merry and Pippin that the orcs were made like that. Vajanyi
