The Two Towers Scene 36 Summary

  • We're finally back with the Ring bearer and company, and things are not looking up.
  • They've reached Osgiliath, which is under attack from Mordorian orcs. It seems they'll soon be overrun.
  • Faramir orders the hobbits to be sent to his father, with the message that he sends a mighty gift.
  • Sam finally tells him about what happened to Boromir—before he died the Ring drove him mad and he tried to take it from Frodo.
  • Just then, Frodo feels the effects of the Ring greatly, and a Nazgûl riding its beast appears.
  • Faramir grabs him and Sam and tells them to stay out of sight while the men try to deal with this new threat.
