[quote:Outis 83935765:MV81MjM4NDcxXzk2NDgwMzgzX0ZGMkExNDI=] [quote:Copperegla:MV81MjM4NDcxXzk2NDgwMjc3XzhFQzUxM0Ez] [quote:Outis 83935765:MV81MjM4NDcxXzk2NDgwMDc3XzhENDFDN0NE] Also, though Frodo is a bit like a Jesus/Yeshua figure, there is that inevitable Tolkien Twist; he almost fails in his mission, attempting to claim the ring, as if the New Testament Jesus had given up to The Satan at the end of his quest. He was saved by Gollum in the end; an evil creature corrupted by the ring, and indeed the sacrificial goat of the novel, as Frodo is the scapegoat. [/quote] The Yeshua/Jesus character is clearly Aragorn. Born a man (but with eternal blood of elves in his deep lineage) and rightful heir to the kingdom. Born into a fallen world that does not recognize him. Lives as Strider among sinners. Fulfils a great mission, casting out demons, healing people, and protecting his people though they know it not fully. With his great sword he enters the mountain of death and preaches to the dead. Alights from the mountain alive, commanding the dead, and defeats the enemy in battle to regain the great city. In his final test of faith, he storms the black gate and is victorious. He is crowned king and his bride is eternal. [/quote] You might be right about that; as I said, you are a bit better at analyzing LOTR than me. What, in your opinion, is Frodo? [/quote]
