Next Hall of Fire Chat: Frodo Baggins of the Shire
-
Tookish @ 20:11 PST

Hullo!

It looks like Gandalf and Company have concocted something a bit different for next weekend's Hall of Fire chat. This time around we're going to take a character from the story and focus on him in depth.

This week's topic: Frodo Baggins: Hobbit of the Shire

This humble hobbit goes the distance for the Shire and all of Middle-earth. What do you think about him? What characteristics or trademarks of Frodo's do you like? Do you have a favorite Frodo quote or deed? Some people say that this brave hobbit in fact failed his quest; what do you think? How does the journey impact this character's life? Does Frodo have any tragic flaws or an Achilles' heel?

Come share with us this Saturday, April 22, at 5:30 EST [-5 hours GMT] as we analyze the character of Frodo, son of Drogo, hero of Middle-earth.

We appreciate your comments and topic ideas. Please send them in to the Hall of Fire Staff. Thanks!

Tookish
