We see many different types of environment in The Two Towers and LotR in general: the "dark and tangled forests" of Fanghorn; the barren desert and stinking marshes; sunny glades and hollows of cool ferns; across stony mountains and through green valleys. Tolkein goes to great lengths to describe the landscape, how do you think he uses environment to reflect the story? What symbolims do you see in the environment?
