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…

Chapter 1 opens as the wizard Gandalf visits the hobbit Bilbo Baggins and invites him to join in an adventure. Bilbo declines, reluctant to leave the safety and comfort of his hobbit-hole. The next day, he is visited by dwarves who believe Bilbo can be of use to them in their journey to the Lonely Mountain to reclaim their ancestral treasure, now in the possession of Smaug the dragon. Bilbo realizes that Gandalf had represented him to the dwarves as a burglar. He reluctantly agrees to go, but he…

Throughout the plot, the timely interplays of theme songs, such as of the Shire, heightened the viewer’s awareness of different characters’ motives. Likewise, when King Theoden of Rohan despaired that none would come to aid their battle, the elves of Rivendell arrived to “honor [their] alliance” to “[fight] and [die] together”. While love can blossom and preserve determination, in contrast, selfish and instinctive desires often bare devastating outcomes that heartlessly sacrifice humanity. For…

From the age of 18 as a Certified…

Thorin right before he dies. At this moment, Thorin says some words on how well he was throughout the journey. They also loved and hated each other at times. The fourth step found in The Hobbit is the apotheosis. Bilbo hangs around in places like Rivendell and Beorn’s house as periods of rest before returning home. Bilbo was happy to go home and he was invited back anytime. The Hobbit has much detail in its initiation, but has a few parts missing. Even though Moana has more parts to the…
