THE HERO’S JOURNEY Joseph Campbell‚ an American psychologist and mythological researcher‚ wrote a famous book entitled The Hero with a Thousand Faces. In his lifelong research Campbell discovered many common patterns running through hero myths and stories from around the world.

Bilbo protects the hero’s youth by adopting Frodo and taking him in his life. Frodo’s mother‚ Primula Baggins‚ also known as Nee Brandybuck‚ is a first cousin of Bilbo on his mother’s side.

For instance‚ when Gandalf questions Frodo of the Ring’s prospect‚ Frodo chooses
