When I first read the Lord of the Rings I didn't have any idea of how the paths of the dead might have been... now that I've seen the film I kinna' know, but reading the book again I still don't understand that chapter... I think it is really written badly...

Well, I can't believe there's no specific point in that passage which you don't understand. For instance:

Quote:

I don't understand why Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas went through the Paths of the Dead!

Answer: Because they needed to get to Minas Tirith as soon as possible. The Paths of the Dead would take them there quickest, although it would be risky.

Quote:
Why did the King of the Dead listen to Aragorn?

Answer: Because Aragorn was the King of Gondor to be. Only the King of Gondor could lift the curse the undead army suffered from.

And so on, and so on. Just give us a hint, and we'll try to help you out.

Perhaps it is your imagination that is the problem and not the chapter at all. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
