frodo

I must have missed that part? Would that mean Frodo Baggins was 36-40 years old by the time Gandalf first visited. Then turned 50 when he left the Shire with the ring? However... timeline consistency feels weird here. I dunno. Can someone fact check me. My apologies...

This just sparks in my mind... You know when Strider meet Hobbits in Bree? And he had to convince them to trust him, and they didn't, until they read Gandalf's letter. Well, that's Ok. But later, in Rivendell, we see that Aragorn knows Bilbo very well. They are friends. Bilbo made a poem...

Since i always assume Mr or Mrs is used for last names. Or maybe i am overthinking it?

This is not quite the same question as why was Frodo made the Ringbearer? I've been thinking about this passage: Gandalf moved his chair to the bedside and took a good look at Frodo. The colour had come back to his face, and his eyes were clear, and fully awake and aware. He was smiling, and...

I am currently writing a compare and contrast essay on Frodo and Bilbo and I need some good professional sources ( not wiki) I was wondering if y’all have any suggestions? I have been looking and am having some troubles so if y’all have any tips that would be most appreciated =) thanks!

Who's more enduring as a ring bearer? Would Bilbo have made it to the Mount Doom and would he have thrown the ring? Could he have endured the entire journey? How do you see each of them's "wearing style" and purpose of wearing the ring? :D Who's more attached to the ring? Who bears the shadow...

So here's the scenario: Frodo makes it to the Sammath Naur and does what he's supposed to do, throwing the Ring into the fire and getting out of there quick smart. Sam meets him outside, having for once not given in to his homicidal rage against poor old Gollum, and they are rescued by...

A "what if" scenario has been on my mind today and is as follows -Gollum's deceitful yet brilliant plan to use Shelob to ambush and kill Frodo and Sam works. He regains the One Ring and successfully hides for years, maybe decades or more, somewhere in Middle Earth with his precious. -The...

This is a short linking chapter similar to the Flight to the Ford in book I. As an aside there is a beautiful sentiment expressed by Faramir at the end of the previous chapter: "If ever beyond hope you return to the lands of the living and we re-tell our tales, sitting by a wall in the sun...

There are some helpful diagrams and maps of Henneth Annun in Fonstad's Atlas of Tolkien's Middle Earth. Frodo is mysteriously woken up by Faramir in the middle of the night. Faramir wants Frodo to see the beauty of the full moon but there is another matter. Sam wakes up and follows on of...

Who is your favorite: Frodo, who resisted the Ring longer than anyone else and brought it to Mordor, or Sam, the faithful, and selfless friend who helped him do so? (Frodo and Sam from the book, not the movie.)

After Frodo is pierced by a Morgul-blade and is recovering in Rivendell, Gandalf, seeing him in bed and noticing a transparency about him, thinks "He may become like a glass filled with a clear light for eyes to see that can". This basically describes the phial that Galadriel gives to Frodo in...

I'm recalling a quote from The Two Towers, where Frodo tells Gollum that the Ring mastered him long ago and that swearing on the Ring was a bad idea and that he has merely to command him to do anything and he'll do it. Since the same would be true for the Nazgul, that they long ago fell to the...

Hello! I've got a question regarding Frodo's childhood. If Bilbo carried the ring around constantly in his pocket, that must've meant it's presence was felt by the other hobbits around him- especially Frodo, who must've spent a lot of time with him. Does that mean Frodo heard the ring as a...

I remember reading it in the book long ago. The betrayal part never happend in the book (Yknow the bread scene), they both met the spider. Now as for the quarrel itself. I am unsure whether it was in the Tower where Sam saved Frodo. Or whether it was later on disguised as Orc where they...

Because currently watching "The Three Musketeers " 1993 movie on Disney+, and he plays the character D'Artagnan. And everytime i see him ride a horse i imagine Robin on a horse from Batman Forever for some reason. I would imagine same way if he played Frodo Baggins. Just curious to how you think...

Is Frodo likely to have died soon after arriving in Valinor, given that Tolkien suggests mortals age faster there and Frodo sought healing before death? Doesn't this imply that Frodo's final journey to the West was intended as his end, making it more tragic?

Where does Frodo go at the end of LOTR?

My question is simple -- why was Frodo made Ringbearer? Yes, he was a hobbit and had apparently shown resilience to the Ring's power for quite some time, having brought it to Rivendell, where the further decisions were made. However, while still in the Shire, there is a scene in which Gandalf...

A hugely important chapter in my opinion. We get an excellent potted summary of important events in the Silmarillion and a most beautiful song poem about Tinuviel (nightingale) that is Luthien, and Beren. We find out what happened to Fatty Bolger and three of the Black Riders at Crickhollow in...
