Despite being a hobbit‚ Frodo Baggins is a modern example of an epic hero. He embodies the values of the hobbits by living a simple life‚ yet he risks that life when he sets out on a great quest to save Middle Earth. A true hero should not be judged by his supernatural strength but by the size of their heart and willingness to give up his life to save the world. He has help on his journey from a few supernatural allies. Tolkien in no way presents Frodo as a hero with supernatural strength ready to

Frodo Baggins is the main character of the Lord of the Rings‚ he is the centre of attention‚ even when he is not in the scene.

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 the Ring’s prospect‚ Frodo chooses to eliminate it. Though he would be destroyed‚ as well as others‚ it proves later

When I started reading The Lord of The Rings book 1 I thought that of a calm story about the travels of Mr.Frodo Baggins. Mr.Frodo Baggins is the main character of the novel The Lord of The Rings written by J.R.R Tolkien and is a fantasy world at war book.

I believe that this book is about war pointless because no matter what you lose lives and precious people
