Sauron's eye is not an eye in any physical sense, at least not in the book. That conception of the eye of Sauron exists only in the first two movies. RK
"In the book The Lord of the Rings, the Eye of Sauron refers to Sauron's ability learn about and maintain contact with his spies throughout the realm of Middle-earth."
I find this sentence very odd. I never read or heard anything before which suggested something like that. Furthermore, the Eye seems to be an actual thing, which can be seen. Frodo sees the Eye when he looks into the Mirror of Galadriel. When Frodo is looking at the Dark Tower from Amon Hen "...suddenly he felt the Eye. There was an eye in the Dark Tower that did not sleep. He knew that it had become aware of his gaze." And the Akallabêth states "...the Eye of Sauron the Terrible few could endure." See also the Witch-king's words in the chapter "The Battle of the Pelennor Fields" in The Return of the King. The sentence above does not seem to fit with these citations. The Eye of Sauron seems to be something in the Dark Tower, but is not equated with Sauron (as in the movies). Eric119 00:08, 2003 Dec 11 (UTC)
Hey I found a flash presentation that has a slide with an image that appears to resemble the Eye of Sauron in the LotR movies. Does that resemble the Eye of Sauron? It might be a visual influence.
It was always my opinion that Sauron was a physical humanoid, with a physical solitary lidless eye wreathed in flame, that had the ability to view things far and wide, due both to the Palantir in his posession and a natural scrying ability. The Internal flames wreathing the eyeball, I felt were intended as a general indication of Evil akin to the Internal fire of the Balrog and the dependance upon fire generally of Evil beings a la Saurons dependancy on Mount Doom to power his Kingdom and associations with Satans fires of Hell.
Therefore the "Eye of Sauron" should be taken as a physical representation, only it is physically the Eye in Saurons head, which when he sits at the top of Barad Dur, see's all.
"It has also been noted that the eye of Sauron bears an [sic] Freudian similarity to a vagina." Uthanc 00:47, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved -- JHunterJ ( talk) 13:39, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Eye of Sauron → Eye of Sauron (disambiguation) – The clear primary topic of this term is the aspect of the character Sauron in the Tolkien legendarium, and not a little-used and unofficial nickname for one of the tens of thousands of galaxies that happen to resemble an eye. I propose to move this page to make way for a redirect to the "Eye of Sauron" section of that article. bd2412 T 03:07, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
