Which Lord of the Rings character to you identify with?

In the book version of the LotR, Eowyn is pretty much the only strong woman. I know, Professor Tolkein was a product of his times, and all that, but still... LotR is one hell of a Sausage Party.

Eowyn was no slouch. She was one of my favorite characters.

"No man may kill me."

"I am no man."

I'd like to be Treebeard, but more than one person has said that I remind them of Boromir. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.

On and off, all of them. Even the bad guys.

Looking in the mirror I guess I'm Gollum :-D ... with my basses substituting the ring :-D

 

[nukes_da_bass]

Bilbo baggins. Not eager to leave his comfy hobbit hole to risk death, even for the adventure.

 

[zachoff]

Apparently, I'm part Aragon and part Frodo according to a brainfall.com.

 

[PWRL]

The Nazgul.

Now I want to go listen to Zeppelin 4.

 

[Batmensch]

Fatty Bolger.
'Nuff said.

And lets not forget that Eowyn speds most of the book hiding as a man....


That being said, if the world of LOTR is based on feudal society, which kinda most fantasy is, then it stands to reason that women wouldnt have a very important role in all that's adventure and military. I kinda hated what they did with Arwen in the films. Then again i kinda hate the films in general.

I would say Galadriel is a strong woman figure. But she's also an unmeddling elf.

Women do make a better showing in The Silmarilion, but honestly, even there, we're mostly inspiration and support. I really liked the character of Tauriel in the most recent Hobbit film... she at least gives girls a seat at the table.

 

[DwaynieAD]

i just really like faramir in the films struggling to belong, to live up to his brother's reputation, and to please his father.

felt familiar.

When will this fad die out I wonder? It is endless on my facebook feed.

No disrespect.

 

[mellowinman]

I am Aragorn, for obvious reasons.

 

[kesslari]

I want to be Tom Bombadil.
But most days I'm like Farmer Maggot's dogs. Or maybe Farmer Maggot.

Don't know, I fell asleep during it.

They should make people watch that stuff instead of giving them Ambien.

I thought it was amazing.

Eh....to each their own.

Not sure why you'd post something so negative in a simple, feelgood thread about a book/film that many people love. Isn't that....y'know...trolling?

If you're not a fan, fine. Go start a 'who doesn't like a Lord Of The Rings' thread

Insert appropriate smiley here.
