Determination In Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring, By Peter Jackson

Frodo, the protagonist of The Fellowship of the Rings, is given his call to adventure at the Shire. It occurs when Gandalf realizes that Bilbo Baggins’ ring is in fact the One Ring of Sauron, the dark lord. This ring contains great power and evil within it. Gandalf realizes the artifact’s true danger, and realizes it must be taken from the peaceful Shire. He entrusts the task of its transportation to Frodo Baggins, the nephew of Bilbo, calling Frodo to his adventure. Hobbits such as he are ideal for this mission due to their natural aversion to power.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring takes place in a fantasy world called Middle Earth. In which, a young human-like creature called a hobbit named Frodo Baggins, played by Elijah Wood, enjoys his peaceful life, but yearns for adventure like his infamous uncle Bilbo Baggins. Wood is caught up in an ancient war between good and evil. In this war, Wood is required to encumber a great burden in order to permanently conquer evil.

“The Fellowship of the Ring” is a trilogy of “The Lord of the Ring” which J.R.R Tolkien, the author, presents the unforeseen good vs evil. Where hobbits, wizards, dwarves, elves and mankind have to fight evil in middle earth in order to survive. There are many incidences where bravery and taking the harder path advanced them.

He offers him guidance and advice on many occasions. Gandalf helps to protect Frodo from outside forces and inside temptations. When Gandalf is around, Frodo feels stronger. He learns how to control the power of the ring with Gandalf’s help. Frodo faces many tests and trials along the way to Mount Doom. He is kidnapped, attacked, and imprisoned along the way. He narrowly survives many situations that would break lesser hobbits. In addition to the outward trials, he also faces the constant temptation to use the ring to gain power for himself and for others. He finds support in the travel companions that join him along the way to help him in his quest to destroy the ring. These warriors become his allies. He also meets enemies along the way. He encounters characters that want to use the ring for their own gain. His greatest enemy is Sauron, the Dark Lord who wants to get the ring so he can rule all of Middle

     Frodo Baggins also takes on a moral code as he accepts his role as the Ring Bearer. Hobbits by nature are fun loving and non-competitive, but Frodo says to Elrond, “I will take the ring. . .though I do not know the way.'; (Tolkien, p.324) When sitting in the chair of the Guardian Kings of Gordor at the top of Amon Hen in the Seat of Seeing, Frodo sees the world covered by Orcs, Lorien in smoke and Borenings’s land on fire and finally sees and feels the Eye of Sauron. He cries out, “I will do now

In life, courage is the best way to find peace in chaotic and unfamiliar situations. In J.R.R Tolkien’s famous book, The Hobbit, Tolkien addresses this issue through the adventurers of Bilbo. Tolkien believes that courage is one of the most important attributes and courage can overcome all fears.

This quote shows that Frodo has refused the call to adventure. Upon refusing the call Gandalph raises his voice and orders Frodo to take the ring out of the shire. Frodo, a timorous hobbit, then obeys Gandalph and sets out on his journey.

“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.

It is said that courage is found in unlikely places and an example of this is Frodo Baggins the main protagonist in J.R.R Tolkien book The Lord of the Rings. With the help of his friends, family and from his experiences on the journey, Frodo undergoes many changes as he becomes more loyal, brave and adventurous. Frodo's journey helps him develop into a wiser hobbit, as it changes his perspective and he therefore starts to believe that he can become an hobbit as great as Bilbo.

Courage/ fortitude is to do the right thing despite the fear or threat. Justice is the cornerstone of human community (togetherness). Frodo Baggins’ is a hobbit from the Shire and his quest is to destroy the One Ring. Frodo goes through quest of departure/separation, confrontation/ struggle, battle, & transformation, return home. (Quick summary).

Frodo and his alliance forge together in order to defeat the power of the ring. As the story progresses, they all learn valuable lessons on what it means to push forward and do what they know must be done. This shows the amount of courage that each individual

The fellowship of the ring by J.R.R, Tolkien, is a novel set in a couple of different places. It all takes place in Middle-Earth. Inside Middle-Earth there are places such as The hobbit town, Bag end, and the Shire. This novel is about a very dangerous and exciting journey to destroy one powerful ring which the protagonist of the novel, Frodo, possesses Throughout the novel, we can see how Frodo has a major transformation in his personality with the help of some of his friends. It is evident that Frodo is not the most heroic character, but he is still chosen to be the main attraction in the fellowship of the ring and to keep the ring safe and secret.

The One Ring is perceived as the machine that has the ability to tempt any individual into using it due to its great powers: “`It is by our own folly that the Enemy will defeat us,' cried Boromir. `How it angers me! Fool! Obstinate fool! Running wilfully to death and ruining our cause. If any mortals have claim to the Ring, it is the men of Númenor, and not Halflings. It is not yours save by unhappy chance. It might have been mine. It should be mine. Give it to me! '” (Tolkein). Tolkein conveys the concept and illustrates the power of fellowship throughout Frodo’s journey to Mordor. Although the Ring entices Frodo when he and his companions encounter the Black Riders, Frodo withstands the temptation to use the Ring. Tolkein demonstrates how fellowship is

Many years ago, he helped destroy Mordor, a great and powerful fortress, with millions of orcs. Frodo was the ring bearer at that time, and got through all of Mordor. Frodo went to the Great Mountain, and dropped the Great Ring in, and saved all of the living and nonliving things in this world.

He also displayed tremendous loyalty, from the time he first learned about the Ring’s existence until he told Frodo farewell at the Grey Havens. Despite his fear, he journeyed hundreds of miles from his home in the Shire. In Mordor, when Frodo could not continue on, Sam carried him up the slopes of Mount Doom, saying, “I can’t carry [the Ring] for you, but I can carry you and it as well” (940). By carrying Frodo up the mountain, he save both his dearest friend and all of Middle Earth. His loyal service made the difference between the success and failure of the quest and thus between the survival or death of all good things in Middle Earth.
