Bilbo Baggins

Dearest Bilbo, How are you doing? I hope you are enjoying living in. Overall I am doing fine, however much has changed since I last wrote to you. Where to begin? I suppose I will start where I left off in the last letter. Lady Galadriel presented us each with a parting gift. For Aragorn,she gave a sheath etched with flowers and leaves of silver and gold, as well as a silver brooch called the Elfstone that once belonged to Celebrían. Both Merry and Pippin received “silver belts, each with a…

relatively heroic individual. Though, the dwarf’s ranking in reliance to him drops as Bilbo’s rises. For example, when Gandalf leaves the group in Chapter 2. At this point it become clear that Thorin is not fit to be a true leader.

In the movie, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the character that I found most intriguing was Aragorn. Right from the start, He was kind to the hobbits by escorting them to Rivendell. When the council meeting was being held by Elrond, Aragorn was the first to volunteer to help Frodo take the ring to Mordor and destroy it. In this scene, Aragon told Frodo that he would protect him with his life. Throughout the movie, he always put Frodo and the hobbits first which demonstrated his…

It is here that the interplay between memory, will, and reason dictate the decision that Sam makes and it is because the freedom of choice is not removed that Sam remains unaffected by the Ring. Sam’s memory recalls the corruption of Gollum and Boromir, as well as the steady decay of Frodo. His reason informs his memory that all who possess the ring become a thrall of Sauron himself. In this instance, it is Sam’s will that prevents his corruption, at the core of it is his “good plain hobbit…

There’s at least some fulfillment to be attained as Gollum meets his purpose, and subsequent demise made a “deserved” product of his own treachery, as Frodo has gotten permission to be allowed past a temporary lapse in his otherwise staunch resilience to being coerced, not just being let to live, but further pass along to the professedly heaven-like Gray Havens, alongside the Elves and other ethereal beings of Middle-Earth. Though in an innate tragedy in itself, like Vassányi’s opinion, there’s…

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings is a fantasy trilogy that has set the bar for all others of the genre. It follows a young hobbit named Frodo as he, and his companions, struggle to destroy an evil ring capable of the world’s end. Frodo Baggins is the humblest of creatures, yet even he is susceptible to the temptations of pure evil through the ring of power; this is proven through the character transformation Frodo undergoes throughout the book trilogy, and reaches the final breaking…
