I just heard an interesting fan theory, that the scene with Artax and the swamp represents being unable to help a friend or family member through depression. That for the friend it can be perplexing (move or you’ll die!), but it’s so hard to do anything for a depressed person in a slump.
My husband has a close friend who’s currently going through a rough patch. We know our Artax will pull through, but it’s going to be hard going for a while. Meanwhile my husband is trying to at least keep in touch.

Even funnier since I ended up being metaphorical Artax.
