Which LotR character reminds you most of yourself - and why? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was just thinking recently how much I resemble Bilbo. I generally have a hobbity personality but I share Bilbo's intelectual curiosity. I can see myself pouring over old Elvish scrolls and making poems about Earendil, while at the same time looking forward to the next meal. Long councils (debates, etc) end up boring me. (I am easily bored

). I selfishly surround myself with bright and interesting people. Sometimes I suprise not only the others but also myself, finding a strength in me that I had no idea I possessed. And lastly, I'm a peace maker at heart.

I think I am more like Eowyn. I may be a woman but that doesn't mean I am weak. I can fight my own fights, too. And I could be stubborn at times. Eowyn for me symbolizes a special kind of girl power, Middle Earth style. In a world or kingdom dominated by men, she does not let herself get intimidated. Her strong personality is even made more fiery by her heart, the passionate and loving heart of a woman. And that has made her one-of-a-kind! And I admire her. I'd love to identify myself with her.

Gorwingel, I think you and me must be a lot alike. I feel like I could have written your post!

I am very much like Frodo - I like to travel, learn and read, and I need to have time to myself to think, but I also enjoy being with my friends. I like being out in nature.

I'd have to say I'm somewhere between Eowyn and Arwen. I love horses and prefer technical subjects but I also am quiet adn sometimes determined.
