The adaptation of Peter Jackson of The Hobbit Transformed a relatively short novel into a trilogy of long films, which meant introduced new characters and extend those who were already present in the version of Jrr Tolkien in history. Jackson wanted the inept master of Lake-Town to be a source of comedy in the second film, Hobbit: Smaug’s desolationBut to facilitate jokes, there must have been another character with whom the master could interact. In The Hobbit The novel, Tolkien briefly mentioned that the master held meetings with his advisers, so Jackson chose to create an adviser character: Alfrid Lickspittle, as described by Ryan Gage. Interestingly, Gage had initially auditioned for Drogo Baggins, the father of Frodon Baggins de The Lord of the Rings. Jackson did not end up including Drogo in The Hobbit Trilogy, but he and the rest of the team were so impressed by the pledge performance that they wanted to play it in a different role, so he was chosen to play Alfrid.
Alfrid was one of the least sympathetic characters in all the movies in the middle of Jackson. He was the Master’s sycophanic servant, allowing his cruel and oppressive rule on the inhabitants of the city of the lake. The master was lazy and ineffective, so he mainly fell on Alfrid to carry out his orders. Many and many times, Alfrid has proven to be cowardly, unintelligent and completely lacking in empathy or compassion. He was deliberately boring, but some viewers believe that Jackson took a step too far and gave him too much time. The Hobbit The trilogy seemed to put Alfrid to get her co -pump, but she never came – at least, in the theatrical cuts of the films. The prolonged edition of The Hobbit: the battle of the five armies Included an additional scene that killed Alfrid outside strange and spectacular. It was a satisfactory moment for the many enemies of Alfrid, but since The HobbitExtended editions are not as popular as The Lord of the Rings‘, fans may not be aware of the death of Alfrid.

Many comparisons have been made between Alfrid and the Tríma Tríma Tríma de The Lord of the Rings. They certainly wore striking similarities. Everyone was a pale and fatty man who dressed in dark clothes and had a leaning posture. Like Alfrid, Wormtongue was the villain of a world leader, namely King Théode de Rohan. However, there were also significant differences. On the one hand, Wormthong was much more competent.
He was an accomplice manipulator who used lies and groans to reach his way. He could probably have maintained his grip on Theoden without the intervention of Gandalf, who used his magic to bring the king back to his minds. Wormtongue also seemed to have shreds of humanity under his nasty shell. He was desperate to be loved, and he even shed a tear when he saw the army of Saruman. Alfrid, on the other hand, did not have such depth or complexity. He was a clumsy fool without buying qualities. In addition, Théoden was an honorable man who listened only to Wormthong because Saruman had corrupted his mind, while the master was just as bad as his rigid advisor, if not worse.

A Lord of Darkness of the Theory of Rings makes 1 tragic death even more heartbreaking
A fans theory postulates that Gríma Wormtongue poisoned the son of King Théode, Théodré, in the Lord of the Rings of Peter Jackson: the two towers.
Alfrid appeared for the first time when Bard The Bowman tried to sneak bilbo baggins and the dwarves of the company of Thorin in the city of Lac Smaug’s desolation. They were hidden in fish barrels on the bard barge. Alfrid said Bard did not have permission to import fish and ordered the guards of the city of Lac to throw the contents of barrels in the water. Bard argued that the waste of food would aggravate the public’s opinion on the master, and Alfrid had as a contrecoris, but before leaving, he threatened Bard: “Always the people’s champion, eh, bard? Protector of common people? You could have their favor now: Bargeman, but that will not last … The master has his eye. Behind Bard to overthrow the master, and more importantly, himself.

The city of the lake was also called Esgaroth, although Tolkien did not declare the meaning or the language of this alternative name.
-
The city of the lake was located on Lake Long; It was linked to Mirkwood by the Forest river and Rhûn by the river.

The conceptual artist John Howe cited Russian and Norwegian architecture as his main inspirations for the aesthetics of the city of the lake in Jackson’s films.
During Smaug’s attack on Lac-Town, the master and Alfrid tried to escape on a boat filled to the brim of the treasury. Alfrid said that the boat was too slow and had to lose weight, so the master pushed it over board. This has involuntarily saved the life of Alfrid; When Bard killed Smaug, the dragon’s body landed on the master’s boat and killed him. Once the survivors of the city of Lac reached the shore The battle of the five armiesAlfrid tried to take control. He said: “In the absence of the master, power gives in to his assistant, which, in this case, is my good me!” The residents of Lake-Town refused to follow him. Instead, they presented Bard as their new leader, calling him King Bard. He had been their Savior during Smaug’s attack, and he was also a descendant of Girion, the Lord of Dale, he therefore had noble blood.

The hobbit bard was very different in the book
Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit Trilogy has taken many creative liberties with his source material, and one of the greatest examples was Bard The Bowman.
The crowd then tried to kill Alfrid, but Bard arrested them, declaring that there had already been too many blood effusions: “Have you not had your filling of death?” This moment echoes a Jackson scene The Lord of the Rings: the two towersin which Aragorn prevented the Theoden from killing Wormthong. Even if Alfrid had hated Bard before, he now tried to befriend him, which also proved the cowardice and hypocrisy of Alfrid.
He just wanted to be in the right graces of anyone held the most power. Bard trusted Alfrid with a few tasks during the battle of the five armies, which he failed without surprise because of his greed and his selfishness. Instead of helping the inhabitants of Lake-Town to put themselves in safety or to fight against the attackers, Alfrid disguised himself as an elderly woman, stole as much gold as he could wear it and tried to flee chaos.
Alfrid LickSpittle caused its own disappearance in the hobbit
Bard saved Alfrid’s life at some point during the battle, and Alfrid had a breakdown. He spit, “I move away from me! I don’t give you orders. People trusted you, they listened to you. The master’s coat was there for the catch, and you threw everything. For what?” To the chagrin of viewers, Bard let Alfrid leave, even allowing him to keep his gold. In the theatrical cup, it was the last appearance of Alfrid in the trilogy, and it seemed that he had moved away unscathed. In the prolonged edition, however, Alfrid’s chance did not last much longer. Idoter, Alfrid decided that the interior of a catapult would be a good place to hide during an active battle. This catapult was near the place where Gandalf fought a troll.

The Lord of the Rings: each Gandalf staff, explained
In Peter Jackson, the Lord of the Rings and the Trilogies of the Hobbit film, Gandalf has often lost or broken its staff, and he knew five in total.
When the troll switched his huge mace to Gandalf, Alfrid started to panic. He shouted and beaten, dropping a single gold coin from his shirt. The part landed on the mechanism for the trigger of the catapult, launching Alfrid directly in the mouth of the troll. In death, Alfrid finally did something useful, but involuntarily. The troll smothered to death on Alfrid’s body, so he couldn’t kill Gandalf. The troll collapsed on the ground, and in doing so, Alfrid was crushed. A flow of gold coins came out of the mouth of the dead troll, which was an effective and non -subtle way of symbolizing the danger of greed, one of the The Hobbit The main themes of the trilogy. Alfrid’s enemies can be assured that he has not survived the events of The battle of the five armies As the theatrical cut made it appear.
