Pipin Good Vs Evil

In The Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo is given the ring by his father, Bilbo, who had carried though adventures of his own. Gandalf, being a family friend, is over in the Shire, home to the hobbits.

The book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is often associated with a various number of themes such as racism, social inequality, the importance of family values, and much more. But one of the more hidden messages of the book centers around the idea that there is a coexistence of good and evil. This theme is really brought to life the more the reader is able to understand the book. Through sub themes such as coming of age, perspective, and intense characterization of many important characters the idea of good and evil is really brought to light.

Tolkien creates the ring as the epitome of evilness to give it a mind of its own. With this symbolism, the ring is able to maneuver itself and corrupt whom it pleases. It takes on the evilness of the beholder and enhances their evil thoughts to the point in which evilness is the only thought that consumes them. As described by another hobbit, Frodo, the ring has “an unwholesome power that sets to work on its keeper at once.” In Sméagol’s instance, the ring is able to take a strong hold of his soul with just a look at “the bright and beautiful” gold that it entails. Such evilness is personified by Tolkien because Tolkien sees it as something that takes action, not something that is acted upon. The power that the ring possesses eats away at him until he is an entire different creature. The ring destroys Sméagol and creates Gollum, an outcast and a murderer. The theme of temptation displayed by Tolkien coincides with the temptation that evilness

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

“I’ll get you my pretty! And your little dog too!” These are the famous words of one of the world’s most iconic villains, the Wicked Witch of the West, the antagonist of the classic film The Wizard of Oz. She appears to be the epitome of villainy: purely evil and selfish. There is no ambiguity in the Witch’s ruthless evil. Within the movie, she was stooped, green-skinned, and dressed entirely in black. In many people's minds, this representation of The Wicked Witch has become an archetype for human wickedness.

But when Gollum stole it, Frodo remembered something Gandalf had told him' "'But do you remember Gandalf's words: Even Gollum may have something yet to do? But for him, Sam, I could not have destroyed the Ring. The Quest would have been in vain, even at the bitter end.'" Gollum was so mentally warped, his mind could not perceive the danger between him and the ring. His lack of foresight coupled with his obsession with the Ring brought about the ultimate end of both himself and the One Ring. Smeagol is an allegory for the depravity of Man because he puts all of his focus on a physical object with absolutely no eternal value, Gollum's devotion to the One Ring led to major physical and mental transformations, and Gollum's eventual obsession with the One Ring brought about the terrible end of both himself and the

This ring has the power to turn the wearer invisible but can also corrupt their brain. This led to Bilbo being so addicted to it that it drove him to kill for it. He ended up feeling sorry for it and they went on with the quest. Some things had hindered his ability to finish his adventure, one of them being the fact that he missed his home and that he almost quit quite a lot of times. The way he was able to get pass that weakness was because he realized what the quest was really for, so the Company of 13 could get there home back. He was scared most of the time as well which slowed down his ability to overcome those obstacles. The way he was able to overcome that was with the help of his

The first literary element that supports the theme is conflict, the great hope characters had during conflicts such as battling monsters, facing the elements and gods

Frodo Baggins is one of the main characters in this movie. He was given the ring from Bilbo when he announced that he was leaving the shire. Bilbo trusted Frodo to get the ring and since the focus of the story is on the ring, that makes the ring-bearer our main character, known as the hero. Frodo is a hero because he always tried his best to follow the directions he was told, even when it was tempting to do otherwise. The ring is very powerful, and his mission was to destroy the ring before Sauron and his men could get to it. By taking charge of this mission, he is a very heroic character.

Throughout the novel Frodo Baggins’s thought process changes. The author hints that this is because of the ring Frodo is constantly wearing around his neck throughout his journey. At the start of the novel Frodo perceived the ring as an evil source, he tried to stay away from the ring. His only goal was to destroy the ring that brought the lives of so many men to an end.“found that whilst he slowly the ring had been hung about his neck on a new chain, small but strong. Bilbo held out his hand but Frodo quickly drew

“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.

The power of the ring is very dangerous because it give the one who possess it temptation will eventually lead up to corruption. In Frodo’s case he shows mercy by not falling for the temptations of the ring because he knows if he messes around or wears the ring he might fall into the hands or the wrong people. When the hobbits are traveling from Tom Bombadil’s house to the Barrow Downs and Frodo gets lost he shows mercy to find his friends. “He stumbles forward with all the speed he could towards the cries.” (Pg.139) Frodo is showing mercy in this quote because he is sprinting as fast as he can to help save his friends.

He leaves everything he owns, including the ring, in his adopted heirs possession. Bilbo’s departure provokes the next epic element, which is a long and dangerous journey. After Bilbo leaves, Gandalf clearly states the dangers of the rings to Frodo, the heir of Bilbo’s possessions (Jackson, The Fellowship of the Ring). Gandalf tells Frodo to leave with the ring immediately and it ends up being a very long journey. Frodo has no idea that this journey will result in him crossing multiple nations, which is also an epic

191). During this event Frodo is being attacked by enemies. At the same time the power of the ring is tempting. He gives in because he is already corrupt with the power of the ring. This shows that when he has the power he abuses it and becomes corrupt.

The Fellowship of the Ring begins with the passing on of a ring from Bilbo to Frodo, like a gold watch being passed down from generation to generation. For a while, it was just like it was that kind of gold watch until Gandalf finds it is much, much worse than the average family heirloom. Gandalf suspected the ring was one of the many twenty Rings of Power. He cast the ring into the fire to determine if his suspicion was right or wrong, and revealed that it was the One Ring and that plans must be set for the long toil to make the peace of Middle-Earth last. It took a long time to get to Rivendell, all the while being chased and pursued by the most skilled, cunning, and surely deadliest of all the Dark Lord’s minions.
