The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Review & Evaluation (Chapters 16-19)
The One Ring is destroyed, the power of Sauron is broken and Middle-earth is saved. Frodo and Sam survived their journey and reunited with Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Merry & Pippin. Aragorn is named King of Gondor and all is well. Today, we jump into the final contents of the novel as it pertains to the story, but not including the appendixes or index, as we dive into Chapter 16 through Chapter 19 and conclude the epic tale of The Lord of the Rings.
Join us as we wrap everything up and tie a few loose ends together with the funeral of King Théoden, Legolas and Gimli fulfilling their promises to each other and leaving the group on the outskirts of Isengard, Aragorn returning to Gondor, Gandalf and the Hobbits running into an old foe on the road, celebrating Bilbo's birthday in Rivendell, taking back the Shire from ruffians and bandits, and each member of the Fellowship of the Ring making their final exits.
With Chase and Josh closing out the novel series, highlighting any major events remaining, debating interpretations of the Grey Havens and discussing what possible future events might have happened with the main characters following the end of the Second Great War, do not jump off the wagon just yet.
"And the ship went out into the High Sea and passed on into the West, until at last on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise."
