Sam is Frodo Baggins ' gardener, having inherited the position as Baggins ' gardener from his father, Hamfast " Gaffer " Gamgee.

In The Lord of the Rings, Frodo Baggins and his Hobbit companions journeyed to Rivendell, where they met with Bilbo, who had retired there after his 111th birthday, spending his time on his memoirs, There and Back Again.

Eventually, Frodo departs for the Undying Lands in the West along with Gandalf, Bilbo Baggins, and many Elves, ending the Third Age.

This internal story of Middle-earth's origins also speaks to the questions of ' Fate ' and the Natural Order in the non-mythical Middle-earth of later characters like Frodo Baggins.

The book contains 16 poems, only two of which deal with Tom Bombadil, a character who is most famous for his encounter with Frodo Baggins in The Fellowship of the Ring ( the first volume in Tolkien's best-selling The Lord of the Rings ).

Along similar lines was the legend " Frodo Lives ", referring to the protagonist of The Lord of the Rings.

In The Lord of the Rings, set years later, the shirt saved Bilbo's relative Frodo from injury several times.

Three of the four principal hobbit characters in The Lord of the Rings ( Frodo, Pippin and Merry ) certainly had Fallohide blood through their common ancestor, the Old Took.

Frodo becomes in some ways the symbolic representation of the conscience of Hobbits, a point made explicitly in the story " Leaf by Niggle " which Tolkien wrote at the same time as the first nine chapters of The Lord of the Rings.

In Peter Jackson's films The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring ( 2001 ) and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ( 2003 ) Bilbo is played by Ian Holm, who had played Frodo in the BBC radio series 20 years earlier.

In The Lord of the Rings he met Frodo Baggins and his friends in the Shire.

In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo and his companions arrive at Bree almost immediately after they leave the Shire, giving the impression that less time separates the two events than is described by Tolkien.

Music critic Jeff Bond writes, " The final result was one of the most unusual Star Trek movie themes ," consisting of a six-note theme and variations set against a repetitious four-note brass motif ; the theme's bridge borrows content from Rosenman's " Frodo March " for The Lord of the Rings.

In their parody of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, an encounter by Frodo and Galadriel is thrown off when Saunders delivers her line: " I have passed the test, and now I will diminish, and go to the West and remain Galadriel ", to which French responds: " You will what, sorry?

Roddy McDowall, who had a long distinguished career including as the regular star of the Planet of the Apes series ; Ron Howard, who, in addition to being the star of the long running Happy Days television series, became an Oscar-winning director in adulthood ; Elijah Wood, who continued his career successfully into adulthood from playing Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings film series and starring as Ryan Newman in the T. V.

Tolkien's description of the physical layout of the city of Minas Tirith itself is followed relatively faithfully in Peter Jackson's film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, ( the city also has a cameo in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, when Gandalf goes there to discern the identity of Bilbo's ring, and it also can be seen in the distance for a few seconds when Faramir takes Frodo, Sam, and Gollum to Osgiliath in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers ) Jackson's version interprets the top of the rock as flattened and paved, and also the location for the coronation of Aragorn.

Shippey says that Tolkien knew well the translation of Boethius that was made by King Alfred and he quotes some “ Boethian ” remarks from Frodo, Treebeard and Elrond.

Two years later, Gandalf — who by now had spent about 2, 000 years in Middle-earth — departed with Frodo, Bilbo, Galadriel, and Elrond across the sea to the Undying Lands.

Thus, upon recovery from the wound inflicted by Angmar on Weathertop, Gandalf speculates that the Hobbit Frodo " may become like a glass filled with a clear light for eyes to see that can ".

Boromir's loyalty to his native City is shown as redressing the catastrophe he had brought upon the Fellowship by assaulting Frodo in his madness.

When his hubris eventually leads him into attacking Frodo to seize the Ring, Boromir seals his own doom by giving in to the malign power of the Ring.

The two then journeyed alone through Mordor and into the heart of Mount Doom, where Gollum attacked Frodo and reclaimed the Ring, only to inadvertently destroy both it and himself by falling into the mountain's lava.

Sam was literate, having been taught by Bilbo and Frodo, which was atypical for most hobbits due to their rustic culture.

The courage displayed by Samwise Gamgee on his journey with Frodo, his subjection to dangers and the preparedness to die out of loyalty for Frodo is the kind of spirit that was praised by Tolkien in a number of essays on the Old English poem " The Battle of Maldon ".

Saruman countered by revealing to the Hobbits that Gríma had murdered and possibly eaten their accomplice Lotho Sackville-Baggins, a kinsman of Frodo, and kicked Gríma to the ground.

Knowing that it is only a matter of time before Sauron rebuilds his forces for another attack, Gandalf and Aragorn decide to draw out the hosts of Mordor with an assault on the Black Gate, providing a distraction so that Frodo and Sam may have a chance of reaching Mount Doom and destroy the One Ring, unseen by the Eye of Sauron.

Frodo and Sam navigate the barren wasteland of Mordor and are overtaken by a company of Orcs but escape and are forced to disguise themselves in Orcish armour.

However, Frodo cannot escape the pain of his wounds, having been stabbed by the Witch-king and poisoned by Shelob in addition to losing a finger.
