ROTK PLOT BUNNIES (6) R76. The citizens of
Minas Tirith are eager to celebrate their King's birthday -- but how do they
discover when it is? R77. When Frodo
returns to the Shire, what does he do with the mithril shirt? Does he feel safer
wearing it, or is he eager to put it away? R78. Aragorn says that he showed himself to Sauron in the Palantir, “in other guise than you see me here.” How did he do it? And what did Sauron see? R79. Where does Bergil find the six athelas leaves that he brings to Aragorn in the Houses of Healing? R80. In Ithilien, Faramir tells Frodo that, years ago, Mithrandir did “many wonderful things” among his people. To keep Frodo’s mind off his troubles, Faramir shares with him a story about what he remembers of Gandalf’s wizardry. R81.
Possible comedy-bunny: Aboard the ship to the West, Elrond and Gandalf are
amazed that -- contrary to their fears -- Frodo is nearly the only one aboard R82. The captain of the ship bearing the Ringbearers into the West halts the ship -- so that Frodo can swim with the dolphins. R83. “...and among them, filled with a sadness that was yet blessed and without bitterness, rode Sam, and Frodo, and Bilbo, and the Elves delighted to honour them.” (ROTK) In what way(s) did the Elves honour the Ring-bearers on the way to the Grey Havens? R84. We learn in the books that Faramir has often dreamed of Numenor, and he dreamed of the summons to Elrond’s Council (among other things). When the Ringbearers sail West, it’s Faramir who senses it, and he visits the King and Queen of Gondor to relate to them his latest dream. R85. One evening, as the Ringbearers’ ship nears Valinor, a graceful white bird alights on the deck and transforms... into Elwing, Elrond’s mother. R86. A palantir that looks only to the Undying Lands was kept at the Tower Hills near the Grey Havens. When the Ringbearers arrive at the Grey Havens, and before they sail, Cirdan offers Frodo, Galadriel, and Elrond a chance to look into it. Do any of them accept the offer? Does Frodo want a look at the lands awaiting him? Does Elrond wish to see his wife? Does Galadriel long for an early glimpse of home? R87. While aboard ship, Frodo asks the Elves if they will let him steer for awhile. R88. Donated bunny
from Qinfinity: R89. Donated bunny
from Qinfinity: R90. After Frodo and Sam awakened in Ithilien, “they were washed and clad, and had eaten a light meal.” Who washed them? Had they slept unwashed all that time, or was this some type of ritual or annointing before being brought before the King? How did the hobbits feel to be catered to and taken care of? *
