Is the 'she' the correct gender?

Is "solidified" a synonym for "freeze" or ""frozen"?

Took a bit of searching! Frodo to Gandalf about Lobelia: ‘She had already nearly curdled me."

Sounds Gollumish, but I'm thinking perhaps Silmarillion?
The dumbest thing I've ever bought
was a 2020 planner.

"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

Not really political, not Silmarillion. It is indeed Gollum.
