Fellowship or Company? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I prefer fellowship myself. Fellowship is stronger than company, for I may be in company with an individual, meaning close physical proximity, and yet not be in fellowship with him or her, as was the case when Frodo and Sam were in the company or Orc soldiers. Fellowship is extended across all racial and cultural divides, which is exactly what happens throughout the Quest, and also goes towards showing the wisdom Elrond had in selecting the Fellowship as he did, with a little help from Gandalf.
