The Lord of the Rings Why do the hobbits fear the Withywindle River? Asked by MHood2 11 years ago 5/18/2014 8:04 AM Last updated by anonymous 11 years ago 5/19/2014 2:55 PM
In Lord of the Rings, the hobbits have an instinctive distrust of the river. They sense some sort of malevolence, but before they can decide what to do, all but Sam have fallen asleep under its spell.
