Part 2/8:
In both J.R.R. Tolkien’s literary works and their cinematic adaptations, the White Tree is presented as a momentary sight devoid of deeper context. Characters like Pippin briefly inquire about its significance, only to receive vague answers that it is, simply, the "Tree of the King." However, the tree’s presence is a reminder of Gondor's past glories, struggles, and eventual rebirth.
When first encountered in the films, the tree appears dead and lifeless, prompting questions about its condition and importance. Is this symbol of Gondor truly lifeless, or is it in a state of deep slumber awaiting a prophecy's fulfillment?
