Ok, let’s start with the characters Merry and Pippin! Here are some questions to get us started:

1. How do you think the relationship between Merry and Pippin has grown throughout the course of the story?

2. What do you think was the biggest event in their characters development? Why do you think this event caused this development?

3. How do you think their being separated (with Merry in Rohan and Pippin at Gondor) effected their characters development?

4. Merry ends up being the master of Buckland and Pippin the Thain of the Shire, how do you think the things they went through on their journey prepared them for taking these positions and would they have gotten them had they not gone through what they did?
