Welcome this fortnight's chapter discussion! We apologise for the length of this post. As you doubtlessly know, the contents of this chapter were extremely important to Tolkien, so it is full of important stuff and it was pretty much impossible to cut anything short.
Important: This is not a spoiler-free zone. It is hard to discuss any chapter in depth without referring to things that happen in later chapters. Proceed at your own risk! Furthermore, it’s perfectly fine to jump in, even if you haven’t participated in previous discussions. We don’t bite!
Also, you are welcome to comment on old chapter discussions. Although the re-read is moving on, discussions are never closed!
