Tolkien has it where there is no evil without good. That for the bad to happen there has to be events or “falls” to happen. (Mathison) He shows his strong contrast of good and bad between Gandalf and Saruman. He also shows the gruesome setting of Mordor compared to the shimmering place of Rohan.

B. A hero is someone or something who helps others with an honorable purpose, or a person who possesses traits that others could see as the traits of a role model. In my mind, Frodo Baggins holds these heroic characteristics and, in the end, made choices to assist the well-being of his companions. Frodo’s efforts display that he is concerned for the future of all living things and does not act simply based on his own wants. For instance, when Gandalf questions Frodo of what he will do with the

“Hobbits only knew in legends of the dark past, like a shadow in the background of their memories, but it was ominous and disquieting. It seemed that the evil….strongholds of Mordor.” This quote indicates that even in the Shire, Frodo gets the information that not all is right with the world. The Shire is safe and guarded, but not as much as it should be. The author has used the words ominous and disquieting to make his readers

the view that nobody is born evil, but everyone is born good since human beings are given choices to make for themselves; some choose to walk the path of good while the others turn to corruption.

J.R.R Tolkien, an English writer, is identified as the father of modern fantasy literature. One of his most famous writings, The Lord of the Rings, is definitely a genuine masterpiece, a true definition of perfection. The saga is about young hobbit Frodo Baggins, who embarks on an urgent, incredibly treacherous quest to destroy the One Ring. This ring was created and lost by Sauron, an ancient demigod of the world of Middle-Earth, and the main antagonist. The One Ring granted its mortal bearers prolonged

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

Frodo tells Sam to “‘Go back…’” and that he’s “’…going to Mordor alone.’” When Sam replies ‘Of course you are. And I'm coming with you.’” Sam is willing to stay with Frodo no matter how dangerous the setting or adventure. Sam’s loyalty portrays him as the person who is always gonna be with Frodo as an advisor;

Bilbo, but he did not force any part of Frodo’s involvement. At the Council of Elrond, Frodo volunteers himself to carry the Ring to Mordor. Elrond responds, “’If I understand aright all that I have heard.’

almost every corner of the film. In the film, there are two archetypes that stand out more obviously than others. The first, Innate Wisdom vs. Educated Stupidity. While Frodo leads the way to Mordor to destroy the ring he makes several poor choices. The choices that are needed to be made are critical to get to Mordor successfully. While Frodo makes the uneducated decisions that you need to make as a leader, Sam, his best friend and gardener, saves him several times by correcting the choices of Frodo.

emaciated body constructs his bug like appearance, but also one of a sickly frog (Tolkien 670). His physical presence is not deceiving to his personality. Gollum is not to be trusted. Yet, Frodo adopts Gollum to his group in hopes of him guiding them into Mordor. Faramir warns Frodo, “I do not think you should go with this creature, it is wicked” (Tolkien 676), and wicked is the best word to describe Gollum. Gollum’s character
