JRR Tolkien is the best perspective shift writer I've ever read.

When I was in college, I took a writing class. In that class one of the very first things that they taught was to never, ever, under any circumstances, switch the perspective of your writing. Now, there was a reason for why they forced us into this, because they wanted us to stick to either first person or third person for our writing, and they believed that when you switched perspectives too much is messes with your ability to keep that straight, and it messes with the readers ability to follow what you write. But there was another secondary reason that my teacher gave after the lecture. She said, essentially, the reason I want you to not switch perspectives when you write a story is because it’s really hard to do that in any sort of convincing way to your audience. It’s just flat out hard to do it well. Plenty of authors do it, but we needed to learn the rules before we learned how to break them.

The Mirror of Galadriel is so BIZARRE to me...

I have to say, for maybe the first time in this entire series I am confused. I just don’t know what really happened at the Mirror of Galadriel. Maybe I’m over-analyising it and it’s really much simple...

What did Galadriel offer each member of the fellowship?

What did Galadriel offer each member of the fellowship?

There is this weird section in the FOTR when the Company meets Galadriel. And Galadriel looks into each of their eyes almost simultaneously, and seems to offer them something.

This is the most BEAUTIFUL moment in the Fellowship of the Ring

Oh. My. Goodness. The words of Galadriel disarmed me, I cannot imagine what they did for Gimli.
