Merry and Pippin meet again after Merry’s agelong ascent; Alan and Dr. Sara Brown meet again after Alan climbs some stairs - nowhere near as dramatic. Join us as everyone’s favorite old woman (not named Dennis) talks about plants as we begin our visit to The Houses of Healing. Merry wonders exactly where Pippin plans to take him; Théoden lies in state; and Éowyn is only mostly dead. We learn that Sara was given books to keep her quiet, and that she digresses like a pro. Finally, Aragorn really knows how to make an entrance.

Aragorn and Gandalf can be types of Christ without being allegorical stand-ins for Him. In typology the original is the archetype and the copy or image of that archetype is the Christ. Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt is a type of Christ harrowing Hell. Moses lifting his arms up in battle with the Amalekites a type of Christ's resurrection. The ark in Noah's story is a type of the church, Aaron's rod that budded of the Virgin Mary and so on. I think that typology is what Sean, Alan, et al. have been pointing when noting secondary world character and events echoing primary world ones. Tolkien was very familiar with typology. Sam then, is a type of an archetype, WWI batsman without being a one to one allegory for such. The mechanism of typology need not involve Christ. Thank you for this episode and for keeping the P.P.P. free. I am a machine operator and this free, excellent entertainment is pure dope: or excellent and free manna in the wilderness.
