Reading LOTR: FOTR - Chapter 19 -The Mirror of Galadriel - Audiobook

Major Labelling Error on the video. Excuse me.

Again: I have not been able to "proof-listen" to this chapter and no doubt it will have errors. Please PM me to tell me what would be best to fix at what time for the MP3, thank you! This was a chapter that was really tiring.

This was originally a screenshot, so not completely a painting.

Book II - Mirror of Galadriel. The Fellowship of the Ring. Unabridged

Audiobook Read by Phil Dragash and edited, and mixed, sound-effected, and designed. Forgive the many mistakes and glitches. I'm the only one working on this after all! And yes, it does take a long time for me to get this done... you know, you've got sound effects, music, and errors I have to edit. It's really time-consuming making creative decisions for it. Hope you understand and thankful you are patient.

Loved it! Especially that you did not went for Radiocative!Galadriel, that would have been inappropriate.

Listening to the chapter I just realized a lot has been said in interpretations about the chararcter pairs of Gandalf/Saruman [Sauron] and Galadriel/Shelob, but I just noticed the similarities between Saruman and Galadriel. Both have an inherent desire to rule, great charisma and posses power over the minds of others. That makes their confrontation at the end of ROTK pretty interesting.

@TheWebBat I too think Galadriel in the movie was a scary person, and made no sense, especially if one reads the book. Good observation!

Has chapter 20 been uploaded yet? or is it in working progress. I've really enjoyed listening to these. Thumbs up for PhilsStuffofDoom

@ravensandlife I'm actually currently working on Chapter 20 (and 21), so yes, it is still a work-in-progress. Thanks for enjoying them!

Thanks! I'm getting really addicted to this audiobook of yours. :)

@GreatSouthport I had a passage in the Silmarillion in mind which stated that Galadriel left Aman 'to rule a land of her own' or something. Tbh I only brought this up, because I recalled a short exchange between Galaldriel and Saruman in the Ch 'Many Partings' and I could not think of any reason for Tolkien to put that in LotR unless perhaps to contrast the differences between these two great beings coping with loss of power. Then I started lookin for similarities (sry for account name change)

[GreatSouthport]

@TheWebBat @TheWebBat I think perhaps you have misread Galadriel, I don't think she has an inherant desire to rule at all. She is very wise and powerful and indeed very ancient but nowehere is there the suggeston of a desire to rule. She has deep sorrow and carries a melancholy after a life which has seen great sadness and lamentation for those fallen and for great deeds by her kin and others combined with a sad forboding of her peoples doom and decline in light of either outcomes of the ring.

Frodo really was the best person to be the ring-bearer. Anyone who had any desire to gain power/use the ring, even a really good person, would have been corrupted and turned evil.

it's been ages since I read this, however this was my favorite chapter.

I enjoyed listening to it. Thank you :)
