In the movie The Lord of The rings (LOTR) directed by Peter Jackson, Peter showed us that throughout time people have had to carry to uphold major burdens on their shoulders but there can be positive outcomes.
In the film LOTR Directed by Peter Jackson one of the main protagonists Frodo Beggins is faced with a heavy burden of getting one ring that has the power to control all of middle earth “ One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them” ( LOTR The Fellowship of The Ring, Peter Jackson) to Mt. Doom and destroying it so the the main antagonist of the movie Sauron can’t get a hold of the ring and take over. Frodo in The Fellowship of the ring has tried to give the ring away three different times first to Gandalf the Grey, Second time to Galadriel, and a third to Aragorn, because he didn’t want to hold the burden of carrying the ring, because he is feeling the ring growing stronger in power and his mental strength is weak and not as strong as those three, “ Frodo: [telepathically] If you ask it of me, I will give you the One Ring. Galadriel: You offer it to me freely? I do not deny that my heart has greatly desired this.

While on her journey the Nazgul showed up and started to follow her and Frodo putting both them “ Arwen: Frodo? Frodo, no! ‘Arwen: Frodo, don 't give in! Not now! ‘Arwen: [voiceover] What Grace is given me, let it pass to him. Let him be spared. Save him.” ( LOTR The Fellowship of the Rings), and all of Middle Earth in danger. The one place they had to get was to the river near Rivendell because that was where they were safe because there Arwen has power and magic so she summons the river and water horses appear and protects them from the Nazgul because they can not pass the wall of water. “ 'Waters of the Misty Mountains listen to the great word;flow waters of Loudwater against the Ringwraiths!” (LOTR The fellowship of the
Throughout, J.J.R Tolkien’s The Hobbit, many themes come into place to give a better understanding of the novel. The underlying theme of the struggle between good vs. evil while Gandalf and the dwarves fight the evils during their journey through middle earth. The battle is manifested in the goblins, Trolls, and spiders where good always triumphs evil. Even though the journey is about stealing the gold back from the dragon there is still some moral clarity to this, the dragon stole the gold and torched the city. The dwarves want to make this right and get back what was rightfully theirs.
Through his burden of carrying the ring, Frodo is subject to many new perspectives that make him realize the importance of the group. Without the help of the others, especially Sam, Frodo would have not been able to accomplish the great task he was given. At first Frodo does not want Sam to come along as he feels it’s too dangerous to subject his friend to. This illustrates his perspective in the beginning of the story of being selfish and thinking that his journey can be taken alone, “It would be the death of you to come with me, Sam," said Frodo, "and I could not have borne that.""Not as certain as being left behind," said Sam."But I am going to Mordor.""I know that well enough, Mr. Frodo. Of course you are. And I'm coming with you.” He later learns through new perspectives that without the help of Sam he would not have gotten far in his journey. Frodo is foreign to the harsh reality he is thrust into. Not only is he away from home, he is also burdened with the task of keeping the ring safe. This burden becomes quite a strain on Frodo, “There is no real going back. Though I may come to the Shire, it will not seem the same; for I shall not be the same. I am wounded with knife, sting, and tooth, and a long burden. Where shall I find rest?” J.R.R Tolkien The Lord of the Rings. With the help of Sam and the realization that he is doing this for more than himself,
In The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, directed by Peter Jackson, all of middle-earth goes through a transformation. Each culture is affected including: the elves, the dwarves, the wizards, the men, and the hobbits. There is no escape from adversity which everyone is faced with. Some were transformed meanwhile others were destroyed. Frodo Baggins is faced with adversity when: Frodo’s uncle, Bilbo Baggins, leaves behind the ring, when Bilbo runs away, and when Frodo volunteers to be the ring-bearer. Many obstacles arise throughout the movie. In this essay I will discuss the ideas created by the text creator regarding the role adversity plays in shaping an individual’s identity. To show this I will be using the hobbit Frodo Baggins.
Frodo Baggins, the main character in the movie faces many compelling circumstances in his quest and is challenged to sacrifice much of himself. The first challenge Frodo has to face when Gandalf as...
“His love for Frodo rose above all other thoughts, and forgetting his peril he cried aloud: 'I'm coming Mr. Frodo!” Throughout the Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R Tolkien, one of the most prominent themes present is the life and world changing effects of love. Tolkien reveals the importance of both love, and the different types of love; love among brothers, family, lovers, leaders, animals, and of country are all shown. With numerous examples of the different kinds of love responsible for saving Middle Earth, Tolkien is able to convey the significance and impact of love.
It is likely for one to assume that a classic piece of literature set in a fantasy oriented stage will have no merits to the youths of today. The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien, however, with its crafty of usage symbolism, displays its relevance to issues that often trouble teens. As the story progresses from a children’s tale to an epic, the main character Bilbo undergoes a series of development, his experiences often overlapping with ordinary people. Reading the Hobbit will provide teens with opportunities of exploring the importance of several common but serious topics. People may encounter many of the themes presented in the book elsewhere repeatedly, but it’s possible that they never appreciated the applications it might have on themselves. When teens read the Hobbit, they perceive it as a simple fiction of adventure. Under proper guiding, they will be able to recognize and utilize the lessons of the Hobbit, and improve their attitudes and ideas about life.
As we see in the beginning of the film, Frodo lives a typical hobbit life, rarely stepping out of his comfort zone. He then encounters the ring, which sets in motion a life-changing journey that he was not expecting. When Frodo realizes he has to let go of
In the beginning, Frodo is chosen to be the brave one, it is not by self-choice. Frodo Baggins is a Hobbit. Hobbits are small people around four or five feet tall, and are not known to be the first people you would call if you were in trouble. Even though Frodo is very wise, curious, and happy, he is already considered an underdog for being a hero because of his size. Frodo does not choose to oversee the evil ring. He gets the mysterious ring because his cousin Bilbo made a promise to leave his possessions, including the ring, to Frodo when he (Bilbo) leaves The Shire. Bilbo has a hard time parting with the ring he has had possession of for so many years, and the evil of Sauron has started to get to him. Frodo does not know much about the ring, except for it can make you invisible.
The reason of the Lord of the Rings is based on the reviled, 'Ring of Power' Tolkin used. It's an anecdote about a family has a ring that gives them riches and influence yet gets stolen from Loki. From that point on in the story, everybody to have this
Frodo Baggins is the son of Bilbo Baggins who intrust the ring with him and the fellowship. He is also one of the main protagonists among the group. Being a hobbit leaving the shire alone is something that is not commonly done especially leaving on a dangerous mission. facing the unknown is something that is almost inevitable for people at least once in their life time for there is so much that you experience on a everyday basis. Frodo's situation is not an everyday basis though he must venture away from home with a ring that has unknown power to him against an evil that also has unknown power and well the fellowship is separated he must decide
J.R.R. Tolkien's concept of too much power is summed up by Lord Acton when he once said, "Power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely." In Tolkien's first book of his fantasy based trilogy, Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship of the Rings tells a story of a quest to destroy a powerful ring throughout Tolkien's created "Middle Earth". This quest was headed by a "Hobbit" named Frodo Baggins who, in the end, becomes corrupted by power himself. This corruption begins when Frodo uses his ring to become invisible over and over again to escape certain situations. The quest to destroy the powerful "Ruling Ring" forms the basis for this story.
“One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them,” (55). The One Ring controls Gollum, Bilbo, Boromir, and Frodo in attempts to return to Sauron, Its Creator, the Lord of the Rings, and the utmost evil present in J.R.R. Tolkien’s novels. But the Ring never achieves Its goal because each character possesses a unique set of skills which resist the evil temptations of the Ring. Gollum is the first victim of the Ring, with no knowledge of Its powers or guidance away from Its control. Bilbo is the second ring bearer, with an almost complete knowledge of the Ring’s power still has difficulty resisting the Ring’s temptation. Gandalf guides Bilbo to constantly resist the evil of the Ring. Boromir never gets his hands on the Ring but craves Its power thinking he can use it for good, ignoring the guidance offered to him at the Council of Elrond. Frodo has the most knowledge and guidance of all the characters but also seems to have the strongest temptations. J.R.R. Tolkien uses characterization in the Fellowship of the Ring to prove that people without a longing for power resist temptation through knowledge, good habits, and guidance.
It appears that at one point Gollum might actually turn good. Due to Sam’s harsh treatment however this good behavior is short lived. In fact, Tolkien has said that this can be seen as the most tragic element in the story. In letter 246 he states, “If he had understood better what was going on between Frodo and Gollum, things might have turned out differently in the end. For me perhaps the most tragic moment in the Tale comes in II 323 ff. when Sam fails to note the complete change in Gollum's tone and aspect. 'Nothing, nothing', said Gollum softly. 'Nice master!’ His repentance is blighted and all Frodo's pity is (in a sense) wasted. Shelob's lair became inevitable.” This is important to note just how different the events of the book could have turned out had Gollum changed. It does seem however that Frodo always knew the strong connection to the Ring Gollum had and never fully trusted him. Yet he still had mercy on Gollum. Frodo decided to have pity on Gollum just as Bilbo once had. Tolkien states in letter 181, “To 'pity' him, to forbear to kill him, was a piece of folly, or a mystical belief in the ultimate value -- in -- itself of pity and generosity even if disastrous in the world of time. he did rob him and injure him in the end -- but by a 'grace', that last betrayal was at a precise juncture when the final evil deed was the most beneficial thing anyone cd. have done for Frodo!” Here is a very clear example in how providence played a role in the actions and outcomes of the story. It is important to note that Frodo does not simply cast the Ring into Mt. Doom. Frodo has become corrupted enough to the point where he cannot get rid of the ring. Here at this moment of despair Tolkien shows the work of a higher power by turning a selfish and evil act into a redeeming one. On essay in the book The lord of the rings and
