Many characters in the book have the classical hero development and personal growth theme written into them. They have the courage and the means to do, what would have been impossible if they never went to destroy the ring. In the Scouring of the Shire, the Hobbits are heroes who save their home, because no-one can match their experience and determination. When we are close to the final chapters, in both book and movies, Sam carries Frodo, but he also carries the story and becomes the true hero. Gandalf is the Hero when they open the Gates of Moria, Aragorn is the hero in the battle at Minas Tirith but Eowyn and Faramir are, too. If you don’t like greek mythology, maybe an ensemble movie like The Avengers is your choice for comparison.Ĭoming back to the Lord of the Rings, Frodo is the hero after Bilbo leaves, but he is sidelined when they reach Rivendell. If you don‘t like the Hamlet example, maybe Spiderman in Spiderman Homecoming is your choice for comparison.īut if you take the entire corpus of greek mythology, you have Achilles, Hercules, Icarus, Zeus, Eros, … almost every one of them is the hero at one time and gets sidelined at other times. Never the less he is the hero of the story and its man focus. His dilemma: to be or not to be - he ultimately achieves neither. It first appeared in the earlier story The Hobbit (1937) as a magic ring that grants the wearer invisibility.

Though more physically capable, Mentally Frodo is a Gigachad. There is no one hero, however, Frodo is commended further for the incredible act of willpower and sacrifice to safe his humble home and literally everyone else in Mid.Ear. Legolas and Gimli wouldn't leave Aragorn and protected him as well which only helped his ability to take the steps that he did to win the war. ![]() Not to mention he also stood beside frodo and literally carried him, against all odds, to a victorious ending.Īragorn distracted Sauron and caused him to act rashly which in turn helped frodo and Sam immensely. He tasted the temptation of the ring and survived. He did survive and is himself but has to leave middle earth to live in peace post ring bearing.įorget not that Sam is also a ring bearer (though for a short time) and actually may have claim to a boat to the undying lands because of this.
