Who's your fav. character? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tom Bombadil was a weird, psychotic fellow, and I liked him immensely.

Eowyn did exactly what I was hoping she would do, so I remember what she did when I come to an uncertain fork in the road and it helps.

Gandalf is my involuntary role model, but I don't care for him much.

Pippin and Merry are hilarious, but maybe a little shallow-minded until the end.

Frodo is overlooked because he did the hugest and most desperately self-sacrificial act of all. I believe that he's the "best" because of his true depth and beauty of character and because of what he suffered even after the trial had passed.
