Aug 31, 2022 at 15:00 comment added Mark Olson The capitalization argument is extremely weak since the examples are from books different in purpose (a novel vs. a history), a different writing history, from different times and by JRRT in one case and heavily edited by Christopher Tolkien in the other. I find this unpersuasive -- too much conclusion on too slender a base. Second, the example of Saruman is also unpersuasive, as JRRT makes it very clear that evil deeds can diminish a being's fea and we see this in the cases of Melkor, Sauron and Saruman. Gandalf in dying need not follow the later path of Saruman's diminished fea.
