What is the moral of the story in Lord of the Rings?
Death and immortality. Tolkien stated in his Letters that the core theme of The Lord of the Rings is death and the human desire to escape it: But I should say, if asked, the tale is not really about Power and Dominion: that only sets the wheels going; it is about Death and the desire for deathlessness.
What happens to Saruman in the books?

Is Saruman in The Lord of the Rings animated series?
Tolkien was apparently disappointed by it. In Ralph Bakshi ‘s 1978 animated adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, which corresponds to The Fellowship of the Ring and part of The Two Towers, Saruman is voiced by Fraser Kerr. He has only one major scene—his attempt to persuade Gandalf to join him.
Did Tolkien write The Lord of the Rings by himself?

As for his writing process, Tolkien didn’t see himself as creating a story from scratch.
What is the purpose of The Lord of the Rings?
