Summary

So...this chapter has the least action of almost any other chapter in the Lord of the Rings...it is basically all talk.

The chapter begins with Frodo waking up, taking a walk with Sam and meeting up wih Gandalf and Bilbo.

Then the Council begins.

There are 11 speakers in this chapter:
Bilbo
Gandalf
Frodo
Sam
Elrond
Gloin
Boromir
Aragorn
Legolas
Galdor of the Havens
Erestor
Glorfindel

And in addition 9 more characters are quoted directly
Dain
the Messenger from Mordor
Isildur
Saruman
Radagast
Denethor
Barliman Butterbur
Gwaihir
the Gaffer

Not to mention counless characters who mentioned in detail and in passing

We begin with Gloin's recounting of Balins expedition to Moria and the subsequent loss of contact. And of Sauron's messenger asking for information about hobbits and a ring, "a little ring, the least of rings...but a trifle that Sauron fancies"
