For the weekend of April 14 & 15, we’ll be continuing our chapter by chapter discussions of The Fellowship of the Ring. This time around is chapter five:
A Conspiracy Unmasked
Frodo learns that his secrecy hasn’t been so secret and that his true friends (and family) are there when he needs them. We also get a final taste of Maggot’s mushrooms, the classic bathing tune, and a peak at what a relocated Bag-End looks and feels like. Frodo’s bitter parting is sweetened here in chapter five.
