Who is your frodo? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

oh, you all made very good points. Yes, you are right. I did not define what i ment by "frodo".

I meant something like this:

Do you have a friend you love that dearly you would lay down your life for him? would follow him whereever his jounrney would lead him? would do anything to help him out of trouble?

i realize i looked at this from sams point of view. i have no idea why... because i do not really identify with sam.

*thinks again* isn't it like this with anybody in the LotR and anybody in the real wortld. we all have different identities, don't we.
for some we are beloved freinds, others hate us. for our professor we are just "one of the students" or for our boss just one of his workers... to our family we are very special.

That's where I was confused as I'm not sure what to look for in a Frodo. Is this someone you follow and help? Someone you have to help? Someone you know who saves the day at some personal cost?

Well, i thought of someone who has some troubles and whom you love that much that you stick to him...
..but could be also someone who saves the day at some personal cost
...or some friend who is very different from you
...or whatever.
Actually i di not think much when io wrote this question down. i do not like to use my head.

Another Frodo thought: Could this person be someone you've taken in, or mentored, or guided in some way, as Bilbo and Gandalf did for Frodo?

Something to think about. I don't know if I have ever had a Frodo person in my life. I can think of a few friends that could be a Sam, always there and supportive. But as for a Frodo, hum, I have to think about it for a while.

You can post those thoughts on the Who's your Sammy? thread.

No, I don't think I have stitched anyone up to that extent

Though I can think of a few people I might like to...
