    👁️Sauron Sues Frodo Baggins

    Frodo Baggins convicted of trespass and trespass to chattel and terrorist destruction to property by prosecutors in Mordor courts. Sauron sues [in separate civil action] for return of ring .... In the related civil action, Sauron’s attorney (the Mouth of Sauron) puts forward character witnesses...

    Was Frodo a hero?

    People who watch the PJ LOTR trilogy often remark that Sam is more of a hero than Frodo. I don't think this is entirely due to PJ but rather modern values. For instance Frodo declaring "the Ring is mine" does not fit in with people exposed to superhero comics, James Bond films etc. This is Le...

    Why doesn’t Frodo cry when leaving Middle-Earth?

    I think his choice was very wise, but the scene is very heartbreaking to me, and I realized that it’s probably because he doesn’t cry while others are bursting in tears. It quite bothered me, I felt some unfairness there, he’s receiving so many emotions while not giving equally. What do you guys...

    Frodo and the 🧝Elven rings

    Here is something that I noticed the other day while I was reading The Fellowship of the Ring. Frodo was able to see Galandriel's ring while he was in Lorien, and that happened because he was the bearer of the One Ring and he had also used it, up to that point, twice. It is interesting though...

    It's Bilbo's (and Frodo's) Birthdays!

    Happy Birthday! Time to party!

    How did Gollum know that Frodo was a Baggins?

    Hail and well met! I'm brand new to this forum and this is my first post. I've been reading so many postings today - all very interesting and informative. I've read the LOTR many times and have listened to the audiobooks even more and I have yet to understand how Gollum knew that Frodo was a...

    Why would it have been the end had 👁️Sauron seen Frodo?

    This is referring to when Frodo was wearing the Ring at the high place. He already knew that a Hobbit named Baggins had the Ring, or suspected it anyway. He was in Mordor and not at the Gate either. Frodo, meanwhile, was at least 150 miles away. Frodo could have gotten out of there faster...

    Why did the 💀Nazgul think stabbing Frodo would give them victory?

    I know this seems awful to think about as decent people, but consider what Mordor would have done in the situation of the good guys. Who is to say that after Frodo was stabbed, that they wouldn't just leave him to die and give the Ring to someone stronger like Aragorn? Staying with Frodo...

    What if Sam had not caught up to Frodo?

    This is an interesting one. I cannot, off the top of my head, think of a situation that Sam was truly NEEDED with Frodo in TTT or ROTK, except maybe, perhaps, on Mount Doom itself in ROTK. True, Sam did help Frodo fend off Gollum, but Sam only had a Barrow Blade. Frodo had a Mithril Coat...

    What exactly happened when Frodo claimed the Ring for himself?

    It says that Saruon became aware of him. But I'm wondering why this was so. Was it simply because when somebody claims it, it alerts him. Or did it send some kind of message to the Nine Rings and to the captured Dwarven Rings that someone had claimed the One Ring, and since Sauron had those...

    What if more Hobbits knew what Bilbo and Frodo had?

    I know it's risky with men and dwarves (it seemed ok with Elves as Frodo came close to mentioning it when they were in the Shire), but, though even Gollum was a Hobbit, I don't think that anyone besides Ted Sandyman and the Sackville Bagginses would be nasty enough to try and abuse its power...

    How Frodo is actually capable of sailing West

    From reading the Silmarillion, one thing was always very clear to me: mortals were NOT allowed to set foot in Aman or The Lonely Isle. I always wondered, however, how it was that Frodo was allowed to go? There was always the possibility he just went anyway and melted the second he got there or...

    Bilbo vs Frodo (Who is the best ring bearer?)

    Hey people. Am just finished watching both LoTR and The Hobbit trilogies. I really loved both movies but there was something about Frodo that i didn't like. It seemed to me that the only reason why Frodo was able to finish his task was thanks to Sam. I don't know if its just me or you also...

    Frodo’s alleged use of the ring

    There’s something I can’t understand in the letter Gandalf wrote to Frodo and which was left unsent in the Prancing Pony. In this letter there is a line that goes as follows: PS. Do NOT use It again, not for any reason whatsoever! I assume that Gandalf means the ring by “It”, but then what is...

    📔Book or Movie Frodo??

    I'm curious. Personally, I prefer book Frodo. In my eyes he was stronger, wiser, and overall I felt like he just knew what he was doing. Although, I did enjoy Movie Frodo, Elijah Wood did well.

    Frodo's unhappiness at the end of the 📔book

    What do you think it was that made Frodo unhappy? Was it really about Weathertop, did he have PTSD and flashbacks similar to what rape victims often experience from the stabbing? Or do you think he was unhappy because of guilt that he didn't throw the ring into Mount Doom of his own will, or...

    How can Frodo be called a Hero at all?

    Hello folks! I'm new to this forum, and to Tolkien in general. I read the three LOTR books and watched Peter Jackson's films this year. Needless to say, I have become a quick fan. While reading ROTK, I was stunned and dissapointed when I read the bit about Gollum ultimately causing the Ring...

    Frodos Characteristics and Personality?

    To me Frodo is very quiet, patient, gentle and kind... I love Frodo, to me he will be the hero of the Lord of the Rings, I just want to know how other people saw him in the books... Did you think he was boring, too quiet or....whatever?

    sindarin translation to 🧙gandalf's advise to frodo

    Hello I came across a translation of Gandalf's advise to Frodo Which ends with Following with the phrase: "For even the very wise can not see all ends" which, in Sindarin, reads: "Dan na-bant i idhren ú-'âr i gened i-mithid bain". (Web link: http://www.elvish.org/gwaith/gandalf.htm)...
