Pippin in the book? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

What I think is that Pippin represented the innocence and childishness of all the hobbits. He is the youngest of all the hobbits, and the least wise.

It is Pippin and Merry, more than Frodo and Sam, who are able to revert back into thier old lives (or very nearly) after the War. Although this has to do with the difference of thier adventures, it also has to do with the personality of these different characters. I do not see Pippin being able to resist the Ring for any longer than Isildur. (Think of his Palantir fiasco.)
