Are All Tolkien’s Favorite Heroes Spider-Slayers? | Halloween 2021

One of the most frequently recurring manifestations of evil in Middle-earth is the giant spider. And Tolkien loves to have his (arguably) favorite heroes exterminate them with a vengeance.

Credit to my son for letting me borrow his toy spider for the thumbnail. :)

Intrigued by the theme of evil being self-defeating? I have a video on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c67oYSVgWI
