We continue our exploration into A Knife in the Dark from The Fellowship of the Ring. Unravel Tolkien’s masterful use of time, explore the growing sense of overwhelm the hobbits feel on Weathertop, and uncover Strider’s chilling insights about the Black Riders. How does Tolkien’s timeline add depth to Middle-earth? Why is the vastness of the world so intimidating to Frodo and his friends? And what does Strider’s unwavering hope teach us about facing impossible odds? Wander these powerful moments and their lasting impact on The Lord of the Rings.
