Part 5/6:
This leads to profound implications about how this scene is constructed and whether it aligns with Tolkien’s narrative traditions. Isaac poses the question of whether the show’s writers may be attempting to convey a deeper symbolic narrative through the eagle’s ambiguous presence. However, he contests that it dilutes the character of the eagles, who typically do not cause uncertainty.
Isaac suggests that the eagle should not have appeared at all if its intention was to remain neutral or ambiguous. This would not only preserve the gravity of the situation but also avoid potential misinterpretation regarding divine support during such a critical moment for Númenor.
