The ending of ‘The Two Towers’, the second volume of J.R.R. Tolkien’s ‘The Lord of the Rings’, is a pivotal moment in the story that sets the stage for the final confrontation in ‘The Return of the King’.
In the final chapters, we see the fates of key characters intertwine as the battle of Helm’s Deep concludes. The forces of Saruman are defeated by the combined efforts of the Rohirrim and the arrival of Gandalf, who brings reinforcements in the form of the Riders of Rohan led by Éomer.
Simultaneously, Frodo and Sam make their way towards Mordor, where they encounter Gollum, who becomes both a guide and a double agent. The ending emphasizes the themes of friendship, loyalty, and the burden of the One Ring. As the story closes, Frodo and Sam approach Mount Doom, and a sense of foreboding hangs in the air, hinting at the challenges that lie ahead.
