 Nitzsche spends more time, however, comparing Shelob with the wizard Saruman, noting that both are "monsters" that live in towers; they have similarly-structured books in "Lord of the Rings", one ending in a military attack on Saruman's tower, Orthanc; the other, in the hobbits' venturing into Shelob's lair in Cirith Ungol.Further, she writes, while Saruman has a "perversion of mind", Shelob has a "perversion of body".Nitzsche stresses Shelob's "gluttony", consisting of an "insatiable appetite", laziness, since the Orcs bring her food, and "lechery" with her many bastard offspring.
