Hobbits are simple creatures and do not wish for much, so there is nothing for the Ring to use against a hobbit. Frodo is the hobbit that is corrupted the most next to Gollum and
The Hobbits represent small, humble, ordinary people. They don't lust for power or fame, or aspire to do great deeds. Thus the Ring can't corrupt them in the way that it would corrupt Boromir or Galadriel, although it can make them covet it as a possession.
As for Sam, his resistance likely has to do with his innate goodness and loyalty. His love for Frodo helped him to overcome the pull of the Ring and his inner pureness was never fully pierced by the Ring.
Because the Ring has power over the one who owns it, Frodo gets weaker the closer he gets to Mount Doom. Ultimately, Frodo cannot resist the Ring's pull, and instead of destroying the Ring, he puts it on to claim its power for himself.
He is brave, selfless, thoughtful, wise, observant, and even unfailingly polite. Unlike the common run of provincial, self-satisfied Hobbits, Frodo is curious about the outside world and knowledgeable about the traditions of the Elves.
Frodo asks Gandalf to take the Ring, but the wizard refuses vehemently. With the Ring, Gandalf says, he would become too powerful, and he would inevitably be corrupted like Sauron himself. Even if Gandalf took the Ring simply for safekeeping, the temptation to use it would be too great.
The Fellowship can't ride eagles to Mordor because of the giant, flying snake-dragon monsters ridden by One-Ring-sensing warrior kings and their half-mile-wide aura of fear.
Saruman The White
Saruman is a complex wizard who could be considered one of the weakest characters since he gave up serving the side of good, and as Aragorn said, ceased to be "as great as his fame made him."
Frodo Was 50 Years Old
Bilbo was 111, and Frodo was 33. Hobbits considered 33 a coming-of-age year, so knowing that Frodo was 50 when he took the One Ring to Mordor meant that he was older than Jackson portrayed him in his films.
Frodo, being of Fallohide stock, with also Stoor and Harfoot blood, was emblematic of all of these qualities. The Harfoots' rabbit-like nimbleness, the Stoors' skillful use of boats, and the Fallohides' learning and sense of adventure all contributed to making Frodo the perfect choice as Ring-bearer.
On the one hand, this is a misrepresentation. The Ring has not tempted everyone. While Gandalf and Galadriel were offered it and tempted directly, others are not. Strider, Gimli, Merry, Pippin, Sam, and Legolas were in the presence of the Ring for months and did not succumb to its influence.
The theme of addiction to power in The Lord of the Rings is central, as the Ring, made by the Dark Lord Sauron to enable him to take over the whole of Middle-earth, progressively corrupts the mind of its owner to use the Ring for evil.
Aragorn knew that he was not immune to the Ring's allure… as the heir of Isildur, he was aware that “the same weakness runs in my blood.” He therefore knew that it was important he never touch or possess the Ring for even a moment. That his only hope to resist it was to take an oath to protect Frodo as the Ring-bearer.
Because of their intense love of the earth, the Ring does not sense hobbits as a threat, which is why they were able to be overlooked and complete the quest.
The first is that Bilbo is a hobbit, and as such, is particularly difficult to manipulate or corrupt. Hobbits have a natural resistance to the influence of the ring, because they are fully content in their simple lives and have no desires for power or war.
Of the Ring-bearers, three were alive after the Ring's destruction, the hobbits Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam. Bilbo, having borne the Ring the longest, had his life much prolonged. Frodo was scarred physically and mentally by his quest. Sam, having only briefly kept the Ring, was affected the least.
Gandalf's age is impossible to determine, but he's likely existed for at least 10,000 years, making him much older than Legolas.
As for Frodo's delay in the book, that was intentional because neither he nor Gandalf felt he should leave right away. That would stir up interest in his intentions and activities. And so Frodo proposed in April 3018 that he leave Bag End on his fiftieth birthday in September.
Aragorn is not half Elf, although he is a descendant of Elros, who is half Elf (and the brother of Elrond, the half-Elf who raised him), which explains why Aragorn's life span is unusually long.
His prowess with a bow was unmatched among the Fellowship and, as J.R.R. Tolkien stated himself, Legolas was “endowed with the tremendous vitality of Elvish bodies,” as well as an inability to feel terrible hurts, which made it easy for him to travel long distances over rough terrain in only light shoes.
Húrin is a fictional character in the Middle-earth legendarium of J. R. R. Tolkien. He is introduced in The Silmarillion as a hero of Men during the First Age, said to be the greatest warrior of both the Edain and all the other Men in Middle-earth.
God is the most powerful entity in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings universe. The Elvish name for him is actually Eru Ilúvatar, meaning “the one, father of all.” So the question becomes: Who is the second-most powerful being? Originally, it was Melkor, “he who arises in might,” the most powerful of the Ainur (or angels).
It is a testament to the Eagle's friendship and loyalty to Gandalf, that they were willing to fly so close to danger for him, and also to Gandalf's belief and faith in the goodness of people winning out over the evil, that he took with him 3 Eagles, in the hopes that Gollum might still be able to be saved, both from ...
He wasn't truly omnipotent, but his great power allowed him knowledge of many things within the realm. Sauron insisted that the Orcs refer to him as the “Eye” because he did not allow his name to be written or spoken. So when the novels describe the “Eye,” it very well may be a description of Sauron himself.
What happened to the Orcs after the War of the Ring? They fled and hid in the mountains, just as they did after the Battle of Five Armies. But they weren't wiped out. Over the centuries, they disappeared, just as the Elves, Dwarves, Dragons, and so on did.
