Frodo Baggins may come across as a bit distant on the big screen, but he's being consumed from the inside out as he tries to step up and save the world. Here's the complete backstory that led to this humble Hobbit playing such a crucial role in Middle-earth history.
In order to understand Frodo s origins, it s worth taking a step back to consider the culture he grew up in. The Lord of the Rings author J. R. R. Tolkien goes to great lengths throughout his writing to highlight the quiet yet profound differences that make Hobbits distinct from the Dwarves, Men, Elves, and Wizards that they share Middle-earth with. Though it's rumored that Hobbits are distantly related to human beings, they rarely fraternize with them. Date: 2020-11-11
