The Lord of the Rings Why do the hobbits fear the Withywindle River? Asked by MHood2 on 18 May 08:04 Last updated by anonymous on 19 May 14:55
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.
