Why do people say Saruman is a "morally grey" character? Sure, he isn't truly a follower of sauron but he wanted the ring and rule over middle earth himself. Isn't that evil?

Isaiah Watson
He's morally grey because at the very second Gandalfs being carried away from Orthanc Saruman is making his way to the top of the power to repent and tell Gandalf everything he knows about the enemy and his plans.

he had massive stockpiles of leaf in his stores and was the one responsible for selling it across the land to Men. he was pretty much the el chapo of middle earth
Angel Adams
The only morally grey characters in Tolkien's work are Feanor and Turin Turambar.

He killed trees for industrial development and mobilized and organized orcs who are physically ugly therefore he is bad.

"Morally grey"? More like 'morally gay'!

Charles Nelson
Also Boromir and Denethor, according to Tolkien.
Dylan Thompson
>many colors
>it’s just yellow, green, and blue
What a hack
Bentley Carter
You could argue that he's """"""""morally grey"""""""" insofar as that he believed that industrialization and peace through force was the best way for the Istari to govern Middle Earth, but at no point does Tolkien ever present the character as morally justified or reasonable
Elijah Myers
he wasnt grey he was evil, but in lotr evil worked together, they served melkor and sauron and Saruman was more independent, he only pretrnded to help Sauron so he was evil but not melkor evil
Noah Wood
>its evil when Numenoreans rule over half of middle earth
>its evil when Saruman wants to
Why?
Adrian King
>Why do people say Saruman is a "morally grey" character?

Did he do a single thing right in his entire life?
Kayden Robinson
Saruman wanted to industrialise middle earth and bring higher living standards to the serfs living under corrupt kangs and elves who considered everyone else untermensch.
Ian Barnes
>people are evil because of their name
Jonathan Thompson
Dragged the elves to war against Morgoth while the Valar were busy jerking their microdicks while middle earth was getting raped
Julian Green
He created the Silmarils, developed a new writting system (the Tengwar), made the Fëanoreans lamps, and the Palantiri.
