Who is your favorite Lord of the Rings character and why?!


Question:

Who is your favorite Lord of the Rings character and why?

I love Faramir, because he is so kind, humble, brave, and loyal to those he loves even if they don't love him back. I love Sam because he is so loyal to Frodo even when Frodo acts like a jerk to him and he is so sweet. I love Aragorn because he is plain awesome.


Answers:

Gollum. Tolkien is absolute genius to create such a dark, tormented, tragic creature and then have his readers pity him, want him to have goodness in his life. By matching him with Smeagul, and their conversations between the two sides are so compelling.

And of course Frodo. Frodo is the reader. He is the guy that everyone loves, wants to win, he is the guy next door thrust into this world. And he fails. Frodo is not able to destroy the ring; he fails his mission. He was corrupted. However, Tolkien shows us that even though Frodo failed his mission, he still is the hero and the savior of Middle Earth. It was not Frodo's strenght, or bravery, or brains, that saved him (although he had all those things), but his compassion. If he had killed Gollum then Gollum would not have accidently destroyed the ring. Both characters are so alike, and yet both the foils of each other. Really a beautiful masterpiece.
