    Effects on Frodo?

    Hello Can I ask, please, what are the physical and psychological effects of the ring on Frodo, and where might I find examples? Many thanks. Postman

    Did Frodo have a job/trade?

    Just wondering if Frodo had a job or a trade before he left the Shire when he was in his fifties? I don't remember reading anything about what he did, or was he living off the proceeds of Bilbo's little adventure involving Smaug?

    What made Frodo volunteer?

    From The Lord of the Rings, The Council of Elrond: Previously in the story, Gandalf has claimed that Frodo was meant to have the Ring. So I am just wondering: was there some greater power that was present and spoke with the voice of Frodo? And for those who remember it: this also fits in with...

    Was the Ring's power lesser during The Hobbit events?

    Please excuse the use of the number '2' at the end of the title, I was a character short with the max length of the title! I'm currently re-reading The Hobbit, it's just dawned on my how much Bilbo uses the Ring, and for extended lengths of time too. Considering the effect that having and...

    Frodo and Sam sleeping on a precipice?

    After Frodo, Sam and Gollum pass Minas Morgul, they climb the stairs towards Cirith Ungol. One scene shows them resting on the very brink of an appalingly steep and narrow precipice, overlooking Minas Morgul far far below. I personally thought this scene was far-fetched and unrealistic. Do you?

    The Light within Frodo

    Two questions really: 1) Why was Frodo slowly transforming into a walking Lightstick? What caused this? 2) What is Gandalf referring to when he states "eyes to see that can"? What does it take to be able to see this light, as Sam clearly has the ability to see it, perhaps even more clearly than...

    The Four Fingers Of Frodo

    One of the similarities between Frodo and Sauron is the fact that they both lost a finger during their time as ring bearer. Are there any other characters to have lost a finger? Do you think there is any significance to this?

    Frodo and 🧝Elrond's history

    Wasn't Frodo aware of Elrond's history or ancestry?

    Who does Frodo sound like?

    In the one part of TTT where Frodo, Sam, and Gollum are at a stream and Frodo and Sam get into a fight Sam says to Frodo "Don't you know who you sound like?" Well, who does Frodo sound like? It's something I've never known, is it Gollum? Any answers or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Why Frodo lied to Bilbo about the ring

    :confused: :confused: :confused: I'm not sure if I asked this question already or not but here goes-In the film ROTK, maybe even in the book as well, why did Frodo lie to Bilbo about where the ring was near the end when he asked: "Where is the ring I gave you?" Frodo replyed: "I lost it." Why...

    Frodo Has Failed!!!

    Hey friends, I was surfing the web..yes I was board...and I stumbled upon this pic. I thought it was funny, and I didn't know if anyone else had seen it.

    What was Frodo thinking/implying here?

    Sam and Frodo had just had something to eat. Smeagol couldn't eat what the hobbits were eating. Frodo says: That last bit is what I'm wondering about. What does Frodo suppose about "not yet"? Does he think Smeagol has the ability to come around? Is this some sort of foreshadowing...

    Sam and Frodo- Osgiliath Tearjerker

    I was just reminded of this by some one's sig, i think it might be Lamarievenstar's but I think that one of the most powerful bits in TTT, (the film, it's not in the book) is when Sam and Frodo are in Osgiliath, and Sam is talking about the great tales, and why they are so great. And while he's...

    Frodo's Intent in the Struggle With Gollum. . .

    In the additional struggle between Gollum and Frodo over the ring, after Gollum has taken Frodo's finger, Frodo has a very determined look on his face, but the determination is ambiguous, or at least it was to me. On the first viewing I automatically assumed, for some reason, that Frodo was...
