The Obstacles Of Frodo In The Fellowship Of The Ring

One character in “The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkien that faced significant struggles is Bilbo. A trial that he overcame was the expectations that the other hobbits had of him. The other hobbits’ viewpoints were that hobbits should not be adventurous and that they should be very dignified. As soon as he leaves for his adventure, the other hobbits no longer view him as respectable. Near the beginning, and even towards the middle, Bilbo finds himself agreeing with them, thinking that he should never have left his hobbit-hole. By the end of the novel, though, he finds that he no longer cares what the other hobbits think of him and has overcome that obstacle. At the end of the novel, it says that “he was in fact held by all the hobbits of the neighbourhood to be ‘queer’ … I am sorry to say he did not mind. He was quite content” (Tolkien 275). This conflict can be considered man v. society. This can be connected to one of the many overall themes of the book, the social limits set on

Thesis: In The Hobbit, Tolkien wants to show the reader that anyone, from any background can step up to a challenge, and be extraordinary rather than ordinary.

Aragorn, also known as Strider, is a friend of Gandalf and as such, knows that Frodo carries the ring. Aragorn is instrumental in helping the hobbits reach Rivendell. Without him, the hobbits would have gotten murdered in their sleep at Bree. Aragorn insists that they not sleep in the hobbit rooms, but instead sleep in a dining room. When they go to their room the next morning, they find it trashed and the beds where the hobbits were to have slept ripped to shreds. Aragorn also guides them through the wilderness, helping them navigate towards Rivendell. When the Black Riders catch up with them and give Frodo a dangerous cut, Aragorn is able to find a plant to soothe the pain and help Frodo continue on to Rivendell. The hobbits would have met a rather untimely ends without Aragorn to guide and advise them on their

Like all archetypal heroes, Frodo begins in an ordinary world. He lives in the Shire with family and close friends. He does not seek adventure, and he is content to sit, smoke a pipe, and tell stories. He receives his call to adventure when Gandalf shows up and asks him to carry the ring to flames of Mount Doom. The ring has been causing a disturbance in Middle Earth, and Gandalf believes Frodo can handle the challenge. Frodo is reluctant to answer the call. He is comfortable and happy, and the journey

Bilbo’s story is a story of a hero’s journey. From his origins we do not see that Bilbo likes to go on adventures. However, his mother’s side of the family got the best of him and he does decide to go on the adventure. We will look at his call to adventure and why he decided to go on the trip. Next, we will look at Bilbo and the weapons and supernatural help he used. The final aspect we’ll look at is Bilbo’s trials and transformations and goals during Tolkien’s The Hobbit.

Paulo Coelho said, “Be brave, take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.” (bravery quotes). Many people are too afraid of taking the risk of being brave, but what they do not realize is there missing out on a once in a lifetime experience. Mothers and fathers are brave everyday to keep their family safe. And the same for animals, they are brave every time they want a meal. Taking that risk is always worth it in the end, because nothing can substitute the experience that you had while doing. Bravery is not just an action that a person normally wouldn't do. Rather it's defined as courage, leadership, and being determined.

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.

The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien is about a hobbit called Bilbo Baggins. His father is a Baggins, who are considered respectable, and his mother is a Took, who often went on adventures. One day while in his hobbit hole on The Shire, an old friend of the family, Gandalf, comes by, offering him an adventure, which is declined. Shortly after, while having tea, Bilbo has thirteen dwarves unexpectedly come into his home along with the wizard Gandalf. Among them is Thorin Oakenshield who was a descendant of Thror, the King of the Mountain until it and all its gold was taken by Smaug the dragon. The next morning, mostly by being pressured by Gandalf and the Took side of him, Bilbo meets the others at a hotel,and joins their adventure to go to the dragon, as their burglar. They encounter many challenges along the road such as goblins, geographically dangerous paths, wolves, giant spiders, not having the help of a wizard the whole way, and always running low on provisions. While there were many external conflicts, Bilbo endured many personal conflicts such as desiring to be back in his hobbit hole in safety, and enjoying being a Took and adventurous. During the first encounter with the goblins, Bilbo is left alone and he encounters a creature named Gollum who continuously talked to himself. He finds Gollum’s ring which allows anyone who wears it to turn invisible. The ring helps him along the journey to escape from the goblin hole, and help the dwarves when they’re taken

People use courage all the time. Courage is shown in 9/11 videos with the first responders running into the buildings to save the people suffering, in the military when men and women go fight for the freedom and safety of our country, and sometimes in ordinary people in their everyday lives. In "The Hobbit", J.R.R Tolkien demonstrates how an ordinary person can be very couragous when faced with difficult obstacles. In Bilbo Baggins ordinary world, he lives in a shire called Hobbiton.

In many stories, there is a hero ‒ a character who rescues, saves, survives, and sacrifices in order to help the greater good. He usually is of mysterious origin and often starts off seeming ordinary and insignificant. However, as the hero eventually grows and develops, he follows the hero’s journey, or the general structure of a hero’s adventures. Such is the case in J.R.R. Tolkien’s renowned The Hobbit, a high fantasy novel detailing the adventures of Mr. Bilbo Baggins, a small furry creature known as a hobbit. Bilbo lives comfortably in his hobbit-hole until he is compelled to join a dangerous quest with Gandalf the wizard and thirteen dwarves. As Bilbo Baggins progresses along his hero’s journey, he transforms, develops, and changes into an extraordinary hero.

Gandalf helps him prepare for this trip and Bilbo leaves in front of the entire town at his own birthday party. Everybody is confused because the way in which he disappeared was magical, through the assistance of a special ring of power. Before Bilbo departs he leaves the ring to Frodo. Later, Gandalf informs Frodo that he must take a quest to The Crack of Doom to destroy the ring before a dark enemy is able to obtain it and add it to the other rings which he has already acquired giving him absolute power.
