This chapter provides the only inside description, from Merry's point of view, of what Faramir and Eowyn must also be feeling: 'A mist was in Merry's eyes of tears and weariness. . . the ascent seemed agelong, a meaningless journey in a hateful dream' - this negatively transforms the various dream references at the beginning of the hobbits'
