Why was Gandalf so surprised Frodo and Sam were headed to Cirith Ungol? Did he have a better plan for getting into Mordor?
When Gandalf meets Faramir, both in the book and the movie, he’s happy to hear of a Frodo sighting, but surprised and concerned they’re headed to Cirith Ungol. Did Gandalf have a better plan for getting into Mordor? Was he thinking of going via the Black Gate, or some other route? I don’t remember him sharing a pan. As someone might’ve mentioned, one does not simply walk into Mordor.
I’m doing it guys! First time reading The Silmarillion
I’ve already read The Hobbit and The lord of the rings, The Silmarillion has been on my list for a long time now! Finally got the courage to start it.
Any tips on making my experience as enjoyable as possible? Like tips on not to get confused by all the names and locations etc. Lot of info in there I image ðŸ˜
Thanks!
PS: yes I’m reading it on an e-reader, but I’m traveling around, so I can’t take paperback with me 😅
