Why this must be read: I love the carefully captured interaction between Aragorn and Legolas, how their hesistation to just speak their minds results in confusion and anger. It's a perfect glimpse into some of the despair that we rarely get to see Aragorn exhibit but that you know boils just under the surface.
They don't understand; because they walk and talk and breathe, they think they still live. Aragorn has seen the black tide of Saruman's Uruk'hai army, and he knows the truth. They are dead ... the old men and the young boys, the woman and the little children... all dead. In his mind's eye, their bodies already choke the narrow, high-walled streets of the Deep; the twisted corpses lie so thick upon the stair that Aragorn can scarcely find a place to set his foot.
