Andrew helps Patrick to appreciate some of the moving scenes of the battle - Aragorn’s challenge to the orcs, the horns echoing, the King’s desperate but glorious charge, Erkenbrand’s sunrise attack. They discuss the importance of leaders communicating courage, confidence, and joy to their soldiers. Andrew notes the many artistic renditions Tolkien’s descriptions have inspired and directed.
