In a world of myth and magic where wizards, hobbits and dragons live and an evil lord rules, but he long ago lost his Ring of the Rower. At the beginning of the book, The Fellowship of the Ring by JRR Tolkien, begins when Bible, the second hobbit to possess the ring, gives the ring to his heir Frodo. The bulk of the story concerns the origin of the many-year journey to destroy Frodo's legacy. The reason he wants to erase it so badly is because it is evil, created for an evil ruler, and created to control nineteen other magical rings. This article will first discuss Middle-earth, then some of the main characters, and finally the three aspects of the resistance shown by Frodo. (Tolkien)1. Middle Earth Before this article truly examines Frodo's resistance, those reading must increase their knowledge of Frodo's environment, immediate and distant. While there are no real land divisions like we have, the next part of the document will relate their boundaries to our divisions as best we can. The Shire is the country where Frodo and Bilbo live. It is an unremarkable place with many hillocks that are home to hobbits. The continent on which the Shire resides is Middle-earth. Middle Earth is a fairly peaceful place, however the cultures within it are reminiscent of the medieval times of this land, adding that all the folklore of ours was true in theirs. He remained peaceful and happy for many years. (Tolkien) Then Sauron, an old undefeated enemy, began to rise once again and gain power. Likewise, the multitudes of lands already under his dominion began to grow ever more numerous. When Gandalf discovered that the simple trinket of a ring given to Frodo was the Ruling Ring, Frodo's world fell into chaos. The worst thing... halfway through the job... was when he left the Company to go off on his own. Fortunately, Sam outwitted him and forced Frodo not to go alone, but to take him with him. Otherwise Frodo would not have been able to complete his journey. (Tolkien) Despite all the hardships and everything Frodo endured, he was never left without help. Many assisted him on his path, such as those that follow: The elves (Tolkien 117), Tom Bombadil, his hobbit friends, others from the Shire, the Fellowship, and later in another book, Smeagle.
