[Dûrbelethwen]

Rohan: They are rugged people, cautious, well disciplined, men and their horses are one, fear in the land, melancholy sense in the royal house, a place that should be restored.
Fangorn: Treebeard is the spirt of the place of the place, an uneasy sense because of a sadness and loss for what was and an underlying anger not on the scale of the Old Forest, though slow to come to a decision once they make it they go all out.
Dead Marshes: Melancholy- more so then regular marshes because there are not any signs of wildlife, possibly a trap by Sauron, reminiscent of the Barrow-downs in that those who died in battle stay to haunt the place, from the description of it it seems that it once was good but now has been corrupted and there is the remberance of it was, it has a sense of despair.
"It was dreary and wearisome. Cold clammy winter still held sway in this forsaken country. The only green was the scum of livid weed on the dark greasy surfaces of the sullen waters. Dead grasses and rotting reeds loomed up in the mists like ragged shadows of long-forgotten summers."
(Aside while looking at the picture of the Dead Marshes from the movie my professor said it looked like the soccer field at the college)
Osgiliath: it is a picture of what will happen if Sauron succeeds, shows that Mordor is expanding.
Minas Tirith: the change from Anor to Tirith shows its change that it has to be on its guard, stands for the civilization of the west, very prideful.
Mordor: Personification of hate and rage, a sense of defiance, personification of industrization, seems empty, loud, harsh,
"Still far away, forty miles at least, they saw Mount Doom, its feet founded in ashen ruin, its huge cone rising to a great height, where its reeking head was swathed in cloud. Its fires were now dimmed, and it stood in smouldering slumber, as threatening and dangerous as a sleeping beast. Behind it there hung a vast shadow, ominous as a thunder-cloud, the veils of Barad-dur that was reared far away upon a long spur of the Ashen Mountains thrust down from the North."
all descriptive words are harsh, the quote is like a razor blade in you mind.
Gray Havens: peaceful, change from time to eternity, preparation for a place of rest and healing, poignancy of loss, the experience of death, acceptance of loss, sense of lingering because they do not want to be separated but need to continue on their journey, it is realistic in the grieving process.
Both of Tolkien's descriptions show he was immensely skillful in the use of adjectives, taking simple words and putting in a refreshing vitality.
