The Lord of the Rings Aragorn is truly the epic hero form the Lord of the Rings. From the start, Aragorn displays hero qualities which continue to lead his group into success. His decisions are wise, and his fighting is brave enough for him to be considered a hero. At times, it seems that his friends would not be able to get by without him. Because of Aragorn's bravery and hope, the Battle of Helms Deep is won by the humans, ultimately making Aragorn the epic hero. In order to be a hero, one
smiles and accepts them when Gandalf and Aragorn reveal themselves. The brothers Denethor and Boromir, however, see that Aragorn brings knowledge from the North which will give their kingship over to Faramir, the true King, and so they secretly conspire against him. And so later on, when the forces of Mordor arrive to attack Gondor, they successfully plot to have Aragorn positioned so he must face the Witch-King in single combat. The battle is too much for Aragorn, and just as he is about to die he is

Sam thought that Gollum only want to kill them, but Frodo knew that the creature Gollum was the person Sméagol a long time ago. In the lands of Rohan Aragorn, Gimbly and Ligulas were searching for Merry and Pippin. In the morning a red sun came up, which mean that someone died. A few minutes later they saw a group of horsemen. They let them pass and then they asked if they had seen the two. The cousin
Standards flapping in the wind as hosts of heavily armed men saddle horses, swords and daggers and bows secured to belts and backs. An enemy lurks in the darkness, a threat to their lords, their land. Suns rise and set on dreaded mornings and blood-soaked battlefields as those that remain strive to carry on. These scenes are reminiscent of the bedtime stories of brave medieval knights riding off on quests and crusades in the name of something greater then themselves. Such sentiments are echoed in
such as Aragorn at times revealed, less high perhaps, yet also less incalculable and remote: one of the Kings of Men born into a later time, but touched with the wisdom and sadness of the Elder Race…He was a captain that men would follow, that he [Pippin] would follow, even under the shadow of the black wings” (792). Good stewards lead by example, and Faramir is no exception. His wisdom and manner in which he carries himself are that of a good leader. He displays humility upon meeting Aragorn. After
In the film Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) I will demonstrate that the main message is how meaningful friendships are and how those friendships will help you when you need it the most. I will use Frodo’s journey with the “Fellowship of the Ring” to validate this claim by analysing Richard Gombrich theory of cognitive and affective beliefs. Moreover, I will use Arnold van Gennep’s theory of the rites of passage to illustrate the creation and meaning of Frodo’s friendships. I
In book V of The Lord of the Rings, there are several characters that die, or come extremely close to dying. Three of these characters, Denethor II, Gandalf, and Peregrin Took (Pippin), as well as their choices and actions in response to their seemingly impending doom, will be the focal point of this essay. Pippin is a “teenaged” hobbit, and the youngest of the Company that set out from Rivendell. His moment comes during the attack on the Black Gate, the entrance to Mordor. Upon hearing the fate
"That is never going to work." The light, vaguely amused voice came from the treetops, immediately above where Aragorn, son of Arathorn, was kneeling over a small patch of forest floor that had been cleared of fallen leaves and other debris. Ignoring the comment, the ranger continued in his work, pausing only to wipe a tired arm across his sweat-dampened forehead. Within seconds, a pair of booted feet had thumped softly to the ground as their owner dropped from the lofty heights of the thick forest
Aragorn is the most qualified to bear the ring and cast it into the fires of Mount Doom due to his pure, kind heart, and his immense passion and dedication. Lastly he possesses powerful intellect and knowledge. These character traits would aide him on his journey to demolish and destroy the ring making him the most capable and competent member of the fellowship. It is these very honorable qualities that would best assist him in accomplishing his goal and purpose. In J.R.R Tolkien’s The Lord of Rings:
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Based on the Lord of the Rings book trilogy written by J.R.R. Tolkien, the award-winning 2002 film represents the second installment in the world-renowned saga. Continuing from The Fellowship of the Ring, Aragorn, a great warrior, (Viggo Mortensen) along with his companions Legolas, an elf, (Orlando Bloom) Gimli, a dwarf, (John Rhys-Davies) and Gandalf, a wizard, (Ian McKellen) aides the neighboring King Theoden of Rohan (Bernard Hill) in resisting the evil

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

While every character in The Lord of the Rings generally has a sense of leadership in their own way and are all completely different leaders, the two that are so different yet so essential to the movies are Sauron, the creator of the Ring, and Aragorn, the exiled king. These two are personified by two vastly different leadership styles. Sauron, an evil lord, is represented by a more conniving, egotistical manner of leadership, who did not do much beneficial work to help his disciples and generally
virtuous, but yet struggles in life. Indeed, Sam’s perception of reality was similar to that of Frodo, with a reality of dedication, simplicity, and goodness. Gandalf’s perception of reality was also benevolence, truthfulness, and morality, along with Aragorn, who was generous, gallant, courageous, and good. Conversely, Sauron’s perception of reality was entirely opposite of Frodo. Sauron’s reality included avarice, malice, viciousness, and pure evil. Sauron desired a reality of total control and power

This group makes way to Isengard, when suddenly they realize that they are being pursued. Aragorn listens with hope of progress, and Legolas, Gimili, and himself continue. They enter the kingdom of Rohan, whilst Legolas figures out that the Uruk-hai/Orcs are making their way to Isengard. Saruman prepares for war at Orthanc of Isengard. Saruman
For example, when he presents Arwen, the future Queen of Gondor, he states: “and on the evening of Midsummer Aragorn, Arathorn’s son, and Arwen daughter of Elrond went to the fair hill, Cerin Amroth, in the midst of the land, and they walked unshod on the undying grass with elanor and niphredil about their feet” (The Lord of the Rings 1060).

he Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring is a fantasy novel set in an entirely different time period and in an extraordinarily different world. This story is part of a trilogy that transitions seamlessly into the ending of the prequel book, “The Hobbit.” At the end of “The Hobbit,” Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, a hobbit is a half-sized human, comes home from an adventure and during his journey, he manages to obtain a magical ring. This ring is magical because when you happen to wear it, you turn
will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world,” states Aragorn upon his victorious return to Minas Tirith (Tolkien 946). This moment marks the culmination of years of trial and toil for Aragorn as he strived to regain his kingship; yet, throughout his existence, he remained the epitome of the chivalric hero and maintained his kingly qualities in secrecy. In J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, the character of Aragorn is just one of many examples of chivalry Tolkien utilizes to create
envy the immortality the elves carry. Due to the ever-present fear of death, many of the men throughout The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion make rash or unwise decisions in order to protect themselves and their lives. However, those such as Aragorn blessed with a long lifespan and who represent many noble qualities view death as a right of passage for men and do not fear death the way many others in Tolkien’s work show fear. Comparatively, Sir Gawain in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight fears
