Episode 64: A-door-able Doors

Published: Nov. 1, 2023, 7 a.m.

Join us this month for a discussion of Tolkien\u2019s doors, exploring various door themes from literature with examples of each theme. First we\u2019ll look at doors as boundaries between physical places, with examples of the Doors of Durin and the Door of Night. Next, we\u2019ll talk about doors as places of transition between states of being, with examples of Bag End\u2019s Green Door and the Closed Door. Finally, we\u2019ll discuss doors as keepers of secrets, including the overly-hilarious Back Door and the mysterious Door under Dwimorberg. We hope to deepen your un-door-standing of Tolkien\u2019s doors!
