574 Words3 Pages

J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy is celebrated for its intricate plot, sublime imagery, thrilling action, and inspiring themes. While I admire the series for all these reasons, my love for The Lord of the Rings is found in the personal connection that I share with Frodo Baggins. Frodo and I live in starkingly different worlds. While he embarks on a treacherous journey to save his nation from imminent doom, my life revolves around school, sports, and clubs. Frodo fights his way through armies of the Dark Lord Sauron; I sit in a metal chair and take vocab quizzes. But despite these differences, Frodo and I have a lot of common. Much of our commonality stems from the way in which we both perceive the world and the challenges it

    In J.R.R Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring, many changes and transformations happen to the characters, good or bad. Many of these transformations revolve around and occur because of The Ring. It can bring out the best or worst in a person. For example, the wizard Saruman was once on the opposing side of The Ring and all the evil it brought, but it didn't take much for him to turn into the thing he once fought against. However, a character that I truly believe changed for the better is Frodo Baggins.

    Both heroes also persevere through challenges and protect their friends and family. The two characters, however, are represented differently because of the different writing techniques the authors use. In ‘The Hobbit’, the author uses first person and second person pronouns such as ‘I’ and ‘you’ and asks questions to the directly reader such as “what is a hobbit?” (Hobbit, page 4).

    With these criteria in mind, Frodo Baggins is similar to famous Greek heroes in their beginnings, in the allies they meet in their quests, and in the physical trials they face, while they are different in their traits and motivations. Frodo and the Greek heroes begin their lives in similar circumstances. The first, and perhaps most striking similarity is the time before the quest, where the heroes are all in their ordinary worlds. Frodo’s ordinary world is the Shire, where it is considered in bad taste to go on adventures, and where almost all of its inhabitants had never traveled far outside the town borders. A clear comparison can be made from before the start of Frodo’s quest-

    When faced with an enormous task, one cannot always bear the weight of it on one’s own. Without strength and guidance granted from a higher source, a mission can seem simply impossible. In The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien, Frodo puts his trust in a higher purpose to give him bravery to complete his quest, similar to how David trusts in God to guide him to victory against Goliath. Frodo Baggins is a hobbit, a race known for for their small stature and nimble movements.
