Many Meetings
Many meetings is the title of this chapter. Well named,many happy meetings take place in it. In it we also get to know what became of Frodo at the Ford. We are left, in the last chapter, in doubt whether he will be quite allright and we sigh when reading the opening lines of this one.
This is a good chapter, in my opinion. It has a lot of ground to cover ofcourse, but it certainly doesn't lood crowded compared to the next chapter!! We get to meet many Elven Lords and Ladies, most memorably Arwen Undómiel........
Here are a few questions and considerations that came up in my mind when reading the chapter.
If Gandalf had known, when talking to Frodo back in the Shire, that the Ringwraiths had arisen, how would things have turned out differently,and would they have??
Did the Ring help Frodo withstanding the pierced Morgul blade for so long (seventeen days,dudes!!!)??
I found it highly enjoyable to see memories from The Hobbit in this chapter and also to read that Bilbo DID go to Dale as he planned, sometimes one becomes so used to the movie version that you forget things like that. I am glad for Bilbo's sake
What are your thoughts on these items and other things in this chapter?
