Free Will

I was wondering if I could possibly get some help (thoughts, specifics, etc.) on a thesis I am working on. The prompt in which I am writing a paper on (rather short, at 2-3 pages) is the following:
"Gandalf, Elrond, and Aragorn have all insisted that their followers undertake dangerous missions only of their own free will. They will not compel anyone. By contrast, Sauron and Saruman corrupt, break, or distort the free will of their followers.

Evaluate the importance of free will as a defining characteristic of free people. Use specific examples from the story to illustrate each point you make."

I would appreciate any help that you could give: but what I am looking for, mainly, is direct instances within the Return of the King. Thank you for your help and I can't wait to discuss your responses!
