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

Tolkien’s epic tale The Hobbit‚ in which the hero of the story is a furry-footed‚ complacent‚ hole dwelling hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. At first glance‚ Bilbo is very much the “un-hero” and more like an everyday average person than a hero. Unlike the classic definition of a hero‚ Bilbo’s strength is not measured by the might of his sword (though “sting” does prove to be a formidable ally‚) the number of enemies he’s slain‚ or his ability to protect the innocent (in fact‚ Bilbo needs a great deal of
