is Fro-do a Her-o?

Plz note this is not everybody and is NOT all the deeds they did, just the deeds I can remember:

Bilbo:found the ring helped dwarves reclaim mountain from evil dragon.

Merry: Helped slay witchy, defended the shire in the "Battle of Bywater"

Pippen: Killed a troll...slew some orcs....became a guard of Minas Tirith, Defended Shire in "Battle of Bywater"

Sam: Tended the bagginses Garden, nearly killed Shelob, Slew orcs, rescued Frodo MANY times, Ringbearer, gave up the ring when frodo asked, caried Frodo AND the Ring up a Mountain, Defended Shire in "Battle of Bywater"

Gandalf: Ousmarted Sauron,

Aragorn: Guided hobbits to Rivendell, Defended them, Faught in Battle of the Hornburg, Pellanor Fields, and at the Gates of Mordor, Summoned a Dead army, Claimed his throne maried a goddess and ruled his people.

Legolas: Befriended dwarf,aided fellowship, helped Minas Tirith look purtey.

Gimli: Befriended Elf, aided felloship had frodo braid his beard, Re-built gates of Minas Tirith out of Mithrill.

Frodo: hmmm....Now what did he do? All i can think is that he bore the burden...and ultimately gave up his home, but it seems clear to me that the real hero's our other people.

he fell over alot

😄 arwen a godess....whatever you say 😄😄

he resisted the temptation of the Ring for soo long and led it all the way up to Mt. Doom, through starvation and weariness

oh and dont forget Aragorn: downright hotness 😄

He's not the usual hero and thats why I like him.

Being a hero doesnt only depend on what you do physically but also mentally... and Frodo kept up his strenght unto the very end

Nice sig Sauron

😄 ta....yeah unto the VERY end...then went insane and claimed the ring in mordor....

hmmm VERY good point..He had to keep going with (almost literaly) the wait of the world on his neck.

He doesn't have to do everything all the other guys did to be a hero. Frodo is one to himself, he's fought his inner temptations to just grab the ring and high-tail it out of there and he did that in what? A year travelin' from The Shire to Mordor? I find that very heroic.

Oh and 'pelennor' is how you really spell it. 😉

I think that Frodo was influenced by the ring to a point that he wasn't able to care anymore, he was wounded by a "some wounds never heal" wound, he DID destroy the ring saving middle earth, he DID carry the splinter of the knife for 17 days or 22 or something like that, he never gave up and, except at the end, but he really did keep on going... they're all heroes, really, actually Legolas and Gimli are less heroic than Frodo I think...

Frodo rox!!!
but the other guys rock more...

tolkien himself said that as he was writing the books he found more and more that sam was begining to look like the real hero of the story, not frodo.

I agree with that, Sam is the real hero, Frodo would have just collapsed in Mordor, or before then, not to mention been captured by the orcs with the ring on, or actually Shelob would have killed Frodo first, but it would have resulted in the end with Sauron getting the ring back

All and all we still respect Frodo. To me every character is a hero, no doubt.

if not for each other they would all be dead

except boromir who died anyway...but you know these things happen......

I think that any charactor could be a hero, including Boromir, who you forgot in your list of people of the Fellowship, who DID accept Aragorn as his king, which his father didn't do, even though he tried to take the ring from Frodo, he did try to defend Merry and Pippin...

Fodo saved sam from gollum, but thats about all

Boromir's the best man! 😠 BOROMIR WILL ALWAYS BE THE CAPTAIN OF GONDOR!

That's not all.

e tried to take the ring because of his dad thats the onbly reason he went along...i mean he would have taken it at the council he ASKED nicely...but elves got all nancey so he tried to take it in secret....he sees the way his dad treats faramir, and he doesnt want that to happen to him

which it would if he did not bring the ring back

Boromir in the movies didn't even seem to want to go to Rivendell anyways, his father just sent him off, but then that wouldn't make sense in the FotR: EE when Boromir speaks about the dream of the halflings, the king has been found and all (which was in the book by the way).

yeah i agree everyone was a hero in their own way
