Hi all,
listening to the coverage of Butterbur's reaction to the Nazgul I like to think that they (the Nazgul) simply have not realised their full potential yet.
How the named react to the Nazgul is a stubborn bravery founded in - on the one hand - righteousness, no doubt. But definitely to the same or even greater extent complete ignorance. Which, as I think is the point of the text, must not necessarily be a bad thing.
More interesting is why the Nazgul let themselves be treated this way. And to adapt a quote by a certain Inigo Montoya, they have been out of the terrifying business for way too long.
The reactions of these people who simply refuse to be terrified leaves them completely dumbfounded. So they don't know what to do but shrug it off (if they have shoulders, that is ) and move on.
This of course will change drastically over the course of the book.
I appreciate your thoughts and comments,
Patrick
