Well just look at Haleth scared for his life, trapped in the Hornburg
And that’s damn terrifying, knowing you’ll fight a losing battle to your death
Not to mention that his father Hama was just killed
and devoured by a warg earlier that very afternoon. It’s not like there’s any evidence he even survived.
And so then you might say, well, how do you overcome that incredible fear?
Is it even possible to deal with that?
What is proven to be the case is that, if you want to imbue someone with courage,
Then what you do is help expose them voluntarily to the things they’re afraid of.
And what’s scarier than ten thousand uruk-hai; Like, his blade was probably the rustiest piece of metal anyone had ever laid eyes on.
And all Aragorn does is swing it around a few times and tell him it’s a fine sword.
I mean, the most likely outcome was that Haleth got butchered
But he died with his sword in his hand, at least one would hope
