Why did the Witch King think he could kill Gandalf the White at Minas Tirith after Gandalf the GREY drove off all nine at once on Weathertop?

Because he thinks that he had Sauron’s backing which is more powerful than Gandalf. The Witch King’s power depends upon Sauron, so if Sauron becomes powerful and strong so was the Witch King.

Was Gandalf scared of the Witch King?

It’s because Gandalf was the only one who could challenge the Witch-King out of all the warriors in Pelennor fields. Gandalf knew the prophesy that the Witch-King will fall not in the hands of man (and Gandalf was a man as he was a wizard and Maia).

How come Aragorn was able to kick off the Witch King at Weathertop whereas Gandalf could not even stand in front of him in Return of the King?

Why was the Witch-King killed?

Eowyn was only able to kill the Witchking, who was normally immune to weapons, because of Merrys enchanted Dagger. Unlike what was portrayed in the movie, the dagger that Merry received was from Cardolan a northern kingdom of men who fought the witchking over a thousand years prior.

Is Gandalf’s staff broken in the book?

Gandalf, eventually, harnesses the power of the staff without the crystal as he is seen to attack Saruman in the Wizard’s Duel at Orthanc. Unlike in the book, this staff does not break when Gandalf uses it to destroy the Bridge of Khazad-dûm during his battle against the Balrog in the film.

How did Gandalf get his white staff back?

So, during Gandalf and Saruman’s fight after Saruman’s betrayal in FOTR, Saruman takes Gandalf’s staff and traps him on top of Isengard. Gandalf escapes on Gwaihir without his staff, but when we next see him in Rivendell, he has it back.

Is Éowyn a feminist?

In truth, Éowyn is not a feminist character at all. She is the manifestation of one of Tolkien’s most important and deeply Christian lessons within The Lord of the Rings. Éowyn’s story is about changing for the better and understanding the value of life.

Who is stronger Gandalf the White or Sauron?

Sauron was far more powerful than Olorin-that-became-Gandalf, and far more powerful than any of the Istari. He was amongst the most powerful of the Maiar when they first came into being, and only became more powerful as he learned new powers and sorceries at the foot of Morgoth.

Why was the Witch King of Angmar so powerful?

While he was the King of Angmar, he could control ice by either freezing or thawing things. He could also use mind control on lesser beings. While a wizard like Gandalf relies more on knowledge, the Witch-King’s powers were much more direct and destructive, and are a tough match for even the strongest of heroes.
