who is the key character

who do you think is the key character in the movies.

i think it is gandalf because one, frodo would never have found out that the one ring was in his posession. two the fellowship wouldnt have live in the mines of moria, if it wasnt for gandalf and three, none of the people at helms deep probably wouldnt have lived if it wasnt for gandalf. obvioulsy, my favorite character is gandalf from what im writing

I think there is no real key character. All the characters had to contribute something in order for the other characters to accomplish what they needed to in the story. True, Frodo wouldn't have known without Gandalf, but without Frodo, the ring wouldn't get to Mt. Doom, without Gollum, it wouldn't have been destroyed, without Sam, Frodo wouldn't have made it all the way.....everyone played their part, and the quest wouldn't have been completed without each one's contribution.

i never thought of it that way, thanx for sayin that to me, i guess i wasnt thinkin.

Which it is most likely one of the greatest works ever written.

Tolkien was a true genius. 😖mart:

you havent read any disc world novels (Terry Pratchet) then?

I agree, the Lord of the Rings is an epic trilogy. It's destined to be a classic for years. It's one of my favorite stories.

its my favorite story most likely out of many

i think the story talks about theme rather than charactors.
tolkien didn't develope the charactors very much.
his books was more about the story.
and he's a master story teller.

I agree with u guys the lotr are the best books and movies of all Time !!!
I am abscessed! 😊 I think that Gandalf and Aragorn are mostly the key characters because like white rider said Gandalf lead the way and stuff and Aragorn becomes King, but of course all characters have a very important role in the movies and books. ✅

heyyyyyyyyy the key character is the DAMn ring

lol

i think legolas is the best

Like someone said...there is no key part....but maybe, just maybe there is a key subject...everything is directly or indirectly related with one ring... I think Tolkien used a black-white technic to describe his characters...Some of them are trying to destroy the ring...and some of them are trying to get him...No matter what is happening they all think about it...
So yes,I think the key role here plays the ring....

Well I haven't seenThe Return of the King but I would venture Sam.

i think the two major characters are frodo and gandalf. after all, the story and world is told from a view of a hobbit (from what i read in an author's note by tolkien himself). gandalf is more like the informer, fills all the questions and loose ends in.

i think there is no true "key" character. they are so many characters that play huge parts in this story, that one could not possibly be chosen. i always got the feeling that tolkien intended for that--for the spotlight not be on just one, or a selected few, but a large group of people, because it brings such diversity to the story.

I strongly agree!! U took the words right outta my mouth! 😉

There is no key character. Every character plays a crucial part in the movie. Aragon is the closest though. 💃
