Book 2 Chapter 4: A Journey in the Dark
from Glittering Caves · host Adeodatus
Tolkien ramps up the excitement in this chapter; Patrick appreciates how his story alternates the restful with the stressful. They discuss Gandalf’s leadership style - his temper, his care, his power, his defense to the decisions of the Company, especially of Frodo. Andrew loves the magic of the Gates, but Patrick is more taken with Frodo’s psychological struggle with despair and the need for all the hobbits to grow in spirit in order to achieve their Quest.Submit your questions and comments at adeoatus.com/podcast.Support the show at adeodatus.com/donate.
