I suppose my favourite part of this chapter was about the Ringwraiths. It led me to really feel and understand the others' reactions to them, their fear. When I read LOTR for the first time (or, rather, when my mother read it to me for the first time), I concentrated too much on the plot and too little on everything else. So when I finally came to understand the depth and hidden dimensions of all that goes on in between the lines, the fear of Nazguls was a shrug of the shoulders. Kinda like, yeah, they all are afraid, nice fact. That's what I took from my first hearings/readings, and it continued through my later ones. This chapter was the new refreshing material that was required for me to let go of that attitude and rethink/re-feel LOTR!
