Is Sauron good or evil?

No, he wasn’t evil at first. But he was one of the first who turned evil. In The Silmarillion, Sauron is described as a Maia of Aulë the Smith, named Mairon (which is not mentioned in The Silmarillion), meaning “the admirable.” He wasn’t as powerful as Valar but he was one of the most powerful Maiar.

Is Sauron pure evil?

While Sauron is Pure Evil in the books due to being a manipulative sadist, his lack of personality and motives in both the animated and live-action movies renders him as not even close to qualifying in those versions.

Is Sauron a God?

Sauron was one of the Maiar, a race of divine spirits that helped shape the world along with the Valar (more powerful divine spirits, analogous to gods) and Eru (“the One”, analogous to God).

He also died when Numenor was destroyed.

However, Dwarves proved less corruptible than Men, and the seven rings of powers affected them less, except to increase their gold fever.

What was Sauron’s endgame?

Sauron wanted to be the lord of all Middle-Earth, and to hold it for his master, Melkor, until Melkor should return. He wanted to use the power of the Ring to create dominion—terrifying people into submission.

What was Sauron’s plan?

Sauron’s ideal plan for Middle-earth was to be its God-king. He would destroy Elves he could not sway, and I think he would wipe out Dwarves who didn’t serve him as they had proved too hard to tame and were beyond his reach for domination.

Does Sauron have a body in Lord of the Rings?

Sauron did have a physical body, at least in the books. Peter Jackson chose to put the eye over Mordor to create a sense of danger and urgency. In the books he has a body by, at most, The Two Towers. “Yes, He has only four fingers on the Black Hand, but they are enough,” said Gollum, shuddering.
