What did YOU think about Frodo meeting Bilbo in Elrond’s House?
I finally started re-reading LotR Tuesday. I’m about to begin “Council of Elrond”.
In “Many Meetings”, there is a passage that bothers me. It’s a little obscure. Peter Jackson interpreted in a way very different what I had always imagined. I’ve reread it many times, but it still looks to me like what I had always seen before in my mind. First the passage, followed by how I’ve always interpreted it, then what Jackson did with it. Finally the question to Entmoot: What did you think of this passage when you first read it? Quote:
Peter Jackson interpreted this passage to mean that Bilbo transformed into a hissing Gollum, horrifying and repelling Frodo, whereupon Bilbo passed his [Bilbo’s] hand across his [Bilbo’s] eyes. Because Tolkien left the antecedents for his and his ambiguous, all four interpretations are possible. I’m out this thread. All I want to know is, What did you think when you read the passage? |
