How would Gandalf have entered Mordor?

Pretty sure when Faramir tells Gandalf that Frodo was headed to Cirith Ungol Gandalf has a very grave reaction. So rule that out maybe

>inb4 eagles

Did he really fear Cirith Ungol?

>The Plan, espoused by the Wise is to not hold too dearly to any one course of action. A loosely formulated plan allows the hand of Providence to play a role in its success. Boromir provides an example of a specific plan, influenced by ideology and carried out by force of will, that goes astray. Boromir's singular goal is to bring the ring to Gondor, unable to deviate from this plan he uses coercion and force to further his plan and ultimately is tempted by the Ring to attack Frodo.

Evil, in the Lord of the Rings is often characterized as unyielding uniformity, a Plan; while Good is aligned with natural and organic processes that deal with change rather than trying to control it. So Gandalf's plan allows events to unfold naturally without the domination of his, or anyone else's will.

What was Gandalf tax policy?

It's not like the fellowship would've had much trouble with Shelob, the giant squid from Moria was much more threatening.

I also read that he would probably take the southern route and then up into Mordor, but not until after sending Legolas to grab the elves, Gimli the dwarves, Aragorn and Boromir the men. Have them draw out the forces and then sneak into Mordor with the hobbits, faramir and the rangers. Maybe whoever the fuck else they run into

I think he feared his friends dying. He might have beaten Sheelob if he was there but Sauron would've noticed the powerful magic

I like this answer. Thanks anon.

Neat

>Fly, you fools
he was saying to take the eagles to mordor. He deded though so he had to tell the plan as quick as possible before falling.

How come Gandalf didn't warn Frodo about the dangers of Cirith Ungol?

Did gandalf rape the hobbits?

>>80207278
It's canon.

It'd make sense, especially since it is likely Gandalf would have gone to Minas Tirith or possibly Rohan after Lorien, since the plan was always that Aragorn would go there. From Minas Tirith they'd take the river South then strike out for a river that runs out of the mountains of shadow.
