Your opinion on Aragorn - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I agree with the rest that say Aragorn is not bossy, just a leader. What kind of leader would he be if he could not get the others to follow him? It was also his duty as the heir to the throne of Gondor, carying with him the hopes of all Middle Earth. The times of the elves was dwindling, and men had to lead on into the begining of the comming age. That is why Legolas could not have led the fellowship, it was not his time. What really struck me as true was the comment about Gandalf and Aragorn being similar to Frodo and Sam. Although I had never thought of it that way before, they are similar, because without Aragorn or Sam, the quest would have never been accomplished. When Gandalf and Frodo are in their darkest moments of dispare, it is Aragorn and Sam who shine through.
