them for better or for worse. In The Lord of the Ring by J.R.R Tolkien we encounter many character that shows growth but one character that develops for the better is Aragorn. The first thing we are told about Aragorn is from Gandalf letter to Frodo “Not all gold glitter” which tells the reader to not underestimate him, but when Aragorn is first introduced in the story, we assume he is just a ranger and nothing more, he doesn’t seem like someone which much help or of use but it turns out that he is

“How do you propose we roam the mountains with this deep blanket of fog!” Gimli son of Gloin exclaimed. The thick, blue fog of the Misty Mountains made for a quest of rather high difficulty. It would be a fell thing for the dwarf and the elf to fall due to an ambush. “And how might we get by without an enemy suspecting two marksmen coming for his head with your heavy breathing?” Legolas jokingly replied. “I am the epitome of stealthiness! I am a sly fox among other specimens like yourself, master

At this point, the orchestral music has stopped and all we can hear is crickets chirping. Boromir turns and asks Aragorn if he is a new elf, and responds that he is a friend of Gandalf. Boromir informs Aragorn that they are both there for a common purpose, meaning Gandalf also asked Boromir to come to Rivendell. As Boromir turns to approach the blade of Narsil the orchestra begins again, this time with the Evil

Altogether: Aragorn and Boromir, A Comparison There is a distinct difference between being “great” and being “good.” Many people strive to be one or the other. A very select few manage to be both. In J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, the characters Aragorn and Boromir exemplify the differences between attempting to be great and succeeding in embodying what is both great and good. To clarify, Boromir tries very hard to be great, but does not both to ensure that he is good. Aragorn is inherently

causes the reader to truly feel what his characters are experiencing and many a reader has cried at the death of a Tolkien character. However, if most people attempt to think of one of his characters the first ones that come to mind are males such as Aragorn and Frodo, when in all reality some of his most intriguing and subtly pivotal characters are females. Galadriel, Lúthien, Arwen, and Éowyn are four of those such women who are all individually different, although they can be

major setting of this book is in The Forest of Fangorn , where Merry and Pippin go to escape the Orcs that kidnapped them, there they meet an Ent(a giant tree creature) named Fangorn and he gives them food and befriends them. At about the same time Aragorn and the rest of the fellowship is also in The Forest of Fangorn, where they are being tormented by Saruman. Next the fellowship goes to Edoras, the Golden Hall of King Theoden, after that they go to Isengard to confront Saruman. Now we see Frodo and

their life. A prominent example of redemption through sacrifice is the Army of the Dead. The Army of the Dead were cursed after they failed to come to the aid of Gondor, but they were able to redeem themselves by answering the new King of Gondor, Aragorn. The played a pivotal role in preventing the destruction of Minas Tirith and afterwards, they all died. However, in their case, death was a reward.

“And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power” (Jackson 2001). Galadriel, drawing upon the trilogy’s core theme of power, makes an excellent point – and Peter Jackson agrees, for in his cinematic rendition of The Twin Towers, Jackson highlights the solidarity of men in their epic power struggle against themselves. In so doing, the film renders Faramir nearly unrecognizable: he clutches Gollum by the throat and lobs him against a wall, takes Frodo and Sam directly

Fellowship of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien is perhaps one of the most famous books ever written, and for good reason. The book is innovative, compelling, and repeatedly has you wondering what’s next. It’s main character, Frodo Baggins, goes on a journey that by the end of the book has still yet to be completed. In The Fellowship of the Ring, J.R.R. Tolkien shows that a hero must keep his desire to complete his goal no matter what, through Frodo’s temptation to return home, the road of trials, and
