Main Character(s) Description #1

Frodo Baggins is a hobbit. Hobbits are short, about 4 feet in height, and have large hairy feet. Frodo lives in a hobbit hole, in the Shire, called Bag End with Bilbo Baggins. He has bushy brown hair. Frodo was adopted by Bilbo to be the heir of Bag End and most of his possessions. He is tall for a hobbit and is good looking for one too.

He is clever and witty. Later on he takes up a quest to deliver the Ring to Mt. Doom. The Ring was once Bilbo’s and Frodo inherited it. He must sell Bag End to his relatives the S.B’s (the Sackville Baggineses) so he can go on his quest. The ring is a large responsibility and it takes a toll on Frodo. He is distraught that he might never see Bag End or the Shire ever again. At the end of the book Frodo separates from the company because he does not want to bring them through Mordor then to Mt. Doom. He makes a tough decision to leave his friends behind and proceed by himself. I think he made a very noble decision. Although he intended on going alone his servant Sam Gamgee heads him off and Frodo is compelled to take him along.

Earlier in his journey Frodo Passes through the Moria Mines he loses a very good friend, the wizard Gandalf. He is the leader and guide for the company, Bilbo’s long time friend, and Frodo’s friend. Frodo must have felt a very large range of emotions as did the rest of the company. After Frodo’s loss he goes into the forest of Lorien and Frodo marvels at its grandeur. Frodo is led to the elvish city and meets Lady Galadriel and is stunned by her beauty.

Sam Gamgee has always been fascinated by Elvish Folk. He is shorter than his master Frodo. He has blond hair and classic hobbit feet. He was Frodo’s gardener at Bag End. Sam came into the company’s employ because Gandalf spotted Sam eavesdropping on their conversation. He agreed as punishment to accompany Frodo on his quest.
