Part 4/9:
The story of Gothmog serves as a fascinating insight into the unpredictability of power dynamics. Despite being an exceptionally formidable Balrog, Gothmog was ultimately defeated by a lesser elf through sheer determination and the twists of fate. This theme resonates throughout Tolkien's works, emphasizing that even the smallest actions can lead to monumental changes in destiny.
Gothmog, despite overwhelming strength, was felled by a broken elf who fought with resolve until the end. This victory over such powerful forces underlines a recurring message in Tolkien’s narratives: strength is not solely measured by power but by tenacity and courage.
