Why did Saruman not join Gandalf?
I have a question about a topic related to Lord of the Rings. Why did Saruman not join Gandalf?
Saruman's betrayal of the Fellowship was partly due to his growing megalomania and desire for power, which blinded him to the true nature of the Ring. Saruman saw the Ring as a means to an end, a tool to be used to further his own ambitions rather than as a powerful and dangerous object capable of corrupting even the most noble of hearts.
