Image for The Eye of Sauron

The Eye of Sauron

The Eye of Sauron is a powerful, watchful symbol from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings." It represents Sauron's omnipresent gaze and control, constantly surveilling Middle-earth to find the One Ring and dominate its peoples. Depicted as a flaming, lidless eye atop a tower, it symbolizes evil, vigilance, and the threat of total control. Despite lacking a physical form, it embodies Sauron’s pervasive influence, radiating fear and manipulation. Its imagery underscores themes of surveillance and the corrupting power of absolute authority within the story.
