742:, which like the house of Elrond was where the ancient, heroic world suddenly collided with and overcame the practical modern world: though the Council of Elrond is many times more complicated than the Beorn chapter. Much of that complexity is in Gandalf's lengthy monologue; in it, Tolkien embeds samples of the speech of people of several races, starting with Sam's father, old Gaffer Gamgee, who speaks "many words and few to the point". Gaffer Gamgee, grumblingly unprepared for the changes that are coming, "functions as a kind of base-line of normality – and, concomitantly, of emptiness". Gandalf introduces a quite different culture and voice in Saruman, who "talks like a politician", using empty words like "real change" while speaking of "many of the things the modern world has learnt to dread most: the ditching of allies, the subordination of means to ends, the 'conscious acceptance of guilt in the necessary murder'". Shippey comments that any of the speeches in the Council "would bear similar analysis", the richness of the linguistic modes making the chapter's "'information content' ... very high".
679:, whose success may be gauged by the fact that few pause to recognize its complexity." Shippey writes that it boldly ignores many rules of writing, being long at 15,000 words, but "in it nothing happens: it consists entirely of people talking". Further, there are many speakers: twelve of them present in the meeting, and another seven quoted in the longest speech, Gandalf's, which, Shippey notes, takes up half the chapter. In addition, the chapter's account of its complex committee meeting "could very easily have disintegrated, lost its way, or simply become too boring to follow". It did not do so, in Shippey's view, because Tolkien had an "extremely firm grasp of the

She writes that in Jackson's film, "virtually everything is changed": Frodo is healed but his recovery is not celebrated; Frodo and Sam have "bags packed and waiting", eager to return to the Shire; Elrond and Gandalf are "almost ... conspiratorial"; the Council is "framed, not by hobbits, but by Aragorn" who meets Boromir before the Council, and Arwen after it. Thus, she writes, Jackson has shifted the emphasis
279:
899:"frenetic moment, the council arguing, over Tolkien's , the council in quiet reflection". He writes that the scene succeeds in "vividly and effectively" displaying Frodo's "momentous decision. We see Frodo's inner struggle, his doubts, his fears, balanced against his sense that he is the right one for the task; he recognizes that his humble and non-aggressive nature make him the best available person to bear this burden. Alas, would that many more such moments existed in Jackson's film."

between good and evil, in particular in
Gandalf's remark that Gollum "may play a part yet that neither he nor Sauron has foreseen".

Shippey writes that the
