Who Is Your Favorite Ring Bearer Sam,Bilbo,Gollum,or Frodo

Pippin · 12-04-2001, 06:33 AM

I like em all. Bilbo was an nicer guy, Frodo was most committed, Sam was the most funny and Gollum was deliciously sneaky...

Frodo, he had the courage to want to volunteer to take it to Mordor, knowing he himself might be killed or inprisoned.

I gotta say i liked Isildur

Sauron, at least he knew how to use the Ring to its full extent. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I can't pick a favorite, but I can pick its opposite: Gollum. He had the Ring, why fall down the Crack of Doom? Idiot. He should have left.

Then my dear Boromir, i will say that Ol' Tom is my favourite Ringbearer

Sam or Sauron.

I do think it would be interesting to see what Sauron would have done had he obtained his ring and see the full extent of his power in the T.A. But that would be a 'What if" thread now wouldn't it?

I for one think Sam as that best Ring Bearer. When Frodo was wounded by Shelob, Sam took The Ring to finesh the quest that he and his master started long ago, he took The Ring to destroy it in the fires of Orodruin, not to keep for himself like Smeagol or Bilbo. He took The Ring and left his master who he thought to be dead because The Ring had to be destoryed.

Sam.Definitely Sam!

Bêthberry · 05-27-2006, 01:02 PM

Certainly not Isildur. He was most unfit for the travail, as he was heedless of advice about its nature and thoughtless about defending his men. Actually, Boromir in some ways reminds me of him. Same pride and vanity and arrogance.

Deagol, probably the only one oblivious of what he held in his hand.

Boromir88 · 05-27-2006, 03:25 PM

narfforc, you can't forget Ole Bombadil.

Everyone forgets about Old Tom, he bore it...or wore it. But I can't say Tom because he isn't my favorite ring-bearer.

I got to go with Frodo, what this hobbit put on his shoulders and accomplished is an amazing feat that goes unrivalled.
