    Entwives if i remember correctly migrated over the anduin from the Old Forest to the Brown lands where they grew apples and such and teached their agriculture skills to the men living there. I guess they lived there for a long time and after Sauron burned the Brownlands at 2nd age to stop/halt advance of Last Alliance. I think that Entwives either stayed with their gardens till the end defending them and perishing, or some took for agricultural work by sauron

    One interesting point. Sam Gamgee recalls the story of a man seeing a tree man that is an elm. Interestingly, in Norse mythology, the first two humans Ask (man) and Embla (woman) when translated are ash and elm. This could be a hint made by Tolkien that the tree man seen was actually an ent wife.

    Tolkien went out of his way to say that the Entwives were "lost." He never says "dead." And when Merry and Pippin describe The Shire, Fangorn is intrigued to say the least. Tolkien never says anything but he hints very subtly that, of all places, the Entwives just might be living in the area around The Shire.

In the Old Forest and in Fangorn Forest, they are painted as if holdouts of a world untouched and somewhat how they're meant to be.

Also later when Mery tries to convince Pippin to just leave it he reminds him that even the Shire is part of the world and sooner or later the shire will burn if Sauron wins. You can't just retreat and shut off the world.

    Maybe one of them helped the Hobbits discover pipe-weed? That sounds like something they would do, but then also tell them not to tell anyone about them. Of course there was a bad, long winter when Gandalf saw the Hobbits in extremis. If there were Ent-Wives hiding near the Shire, it might have been beyond them to help the Hobbits much or Gandalf would have seen them.

    I always thought the surviving Entwives fled to the Old Forest. Treebeard says he thinks they would have liked the Hobbit's country. Maybe what happened was so disturbing to them that they just fled till they had mountains between them and it. I'm not sure of the time line but if Arnor had already fallen they could have moved in quietly and no one would have known. It's always bugged me a little that Merry or Pippin never mention the Old Forest to Treebeard so I don't think he ever thinks to go look there.

Plus the Hobbits description of truly angry Ents being terrifying, was something I’d hoped to see. Ah well, that’s why there’s always the books. 🌳

    I feel that it's very hard to convey unhurried intelligence as opposed to mere stupidity, especially when "quick" is one of our synonyms for "intelligent". To capture it, I think that you'd have to show the ents somehow coming to thorough, exhaustive conclusions through contemplation, and frankly, Tolkien never gave them such opportunity: Saruman's mischief was too obvious to be revealed through some kind of mental adroitness (and that kind of cleverness is anti-thematic to Tolkien's aesthetic anyways).

Yes it gives the Hobbits agency and makes them the heroes of the scene, but their coming to Fangorn was to be a small pebble that began a landslide (or words to that effect), versus slow-witted tree-people gawk and hoot for whatever interminable length of the movie Entmoot (yes I'm ranting a little).

    Great, amazing video. However I am sad that you didn't read the Bregalad's Song as Quickbeam mourned over his dead rowan tree-friends: "O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië! O rowan fair, upon your hair how white the blossom lay! O rowan mine, I saw you shine upon a summer's day, Your rind so bright, your leaves so light, your voice so cool and soft: Upon your head how golden-red the crown you bore aloft! O rowan dead, upon your head your hair is dry and grey; Your crown is spilled, your voice is stilled for ever and a day. O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!" (J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Two Towers"). I remember reading it for the first time in English (original), I remember my tears as I imagined a young Ent mourning over his dead friends... No translation, however brilliant it is, can convey the feelings depicted here....

    Two Towers will always be my favourite LotR movie/book. And the ents fighting back against the industrialization of Saruman is a very big part of that.

    In my opinion, the ents story and lore is the most poetic, tragic, and beautiful out of all the middle earth beings lore.

    Cool groot cameo nerd of the rings. And I believe yavana saved the entwives but decided to keep them in the undying lands in order to protect them and perhaps the entwives were too scared to return to middle earth after the war of the last alliance. Maybe treebeard will reunite with her once he’s given passage to valinor!

    Loved hearing the backstory. Merry and Pippin meeting Treebeard was always one of my favorite moments in the book. I was curious about one thing mentioned in the video about Saruman diminishing in power while imprisoned in Orthanc. How does that happen and what does that say abut the nature of magical power in Tolkien's world?

Seriously enjoy your channel and I'll life every video I watch! Great job! Really wish Tolkien went more into the EntWives though, been a real question on my mind when I listened to the audiobooks. Excellent explanations and really great visuals. Will definitely recommend your channel to any LotR fan.

    You mention how Sam tells of a cousin seeing something that could be an Ent on the North Downs. What about the story told as the hobbits enter the Old Wood of how the trees there seem to move and change the trails. Also about how the trees attacked the fence? That sounds like Huorns or ents, especially when you consider Old Man Willow

Music and athmosphere i would rate perfect Good work Mellon=)! And have a nice day! P.S. for me the Ent part of the books when Pippin and Merry are with Treebeard and later Quickbeam is one of the best parts of the book, It's so fun and joyful and the Ents feel to be so full of emotion and the part when Treebeard is singing to Pippin and merry and he for awhile thinks he was singing to a little E ntings made me feel sad and happy for same time, I'm a long time Lotr/ silmarillion enthusiast, i have readed lord of the rings once a year (at least )once for like 10 years now and Quenta Silmarillion i have readed at least 5 times, The 3 Peter Jackson movies i watched a lot when i was younger(even before i could understand english nor read the subtitles, uncountable amount of times would be good way to put it :D
