Tracking a band of orcs across the open plains of Rohan is a far easier pursuit, and also cannot put Merry and Pippin in any more danger than they are already in, which is what makes this the perfect option.
Aragorn simply wanted to draw out Mordor's armies so that Frodo could make it to Mount Doom. By marching on the Black Gate, Aragorn showed a lot of faith in Frodo, but Aragorn didn't always have such belief in the young Hobbit. During their first meeting at The Prancing Pony, Aragorn didn't approve of Frodo's behavior.
Ultimately, Aragorn's ambition was essential to his rise as king, but it meant he was not a good fit to carry Sauron's weapon. Part of what made Aragorn worthy of being king was his decision not to use the One Ring, as Boromir suggested.
He feels unworthy of the throne because the same blood runs in his veins that ran in Isildurs, and Isildur was too weak to resist the power of the ring after he cut it from Sauron's finger in the Battle of the Last Alliance.
Éowyn falls in love with Aragorn, but though he respects her, he does not return her feelings, as he is betrothed to the elf Arwen. As Aragorn points out, her duty is with her people; she has to shoulder the responsibility of ruling Rohan in Théoden's stead when the war-host of Rohan go to war.
From the moment he met Eomer of Rohan, Aragorn announced he was Gondor's heir, meaning Theoden also found out. So, while Aragorn successfully hid from the race of Men for many years, a vast amount of Middle-earth figured out who he was during the War of the Ring.
However, Faramir insists that he has no desire to wield the weapon of the enemy, knowing it can only be used for evil. His words in the book were: “I would not take this thing, if it lay by the highway.
Elrond didn't want his daughter to die. Her choosing to marry Aragorn meant she chose to die, not to sail into the west with her people. His qualms with Aragorn were more about Arwen's mortality than anything else.
Summary. In J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Samwise Gamgee can resist the One Ring throughout the entire journey to Mordor. Even when wearing the One Ring, Sam did not give in to its influence, and he returned it to Frodo without hesitation.
In Tolkien's The Return of the King, Sauron never fights Aragorn. In fact, Sauron's appearance is never properly described, perhaps because he's a notorious shapeshifter. As such, showing Aragorn fighting Sauron would be a disservice to the author.
If you were wondering why Aragorn was not a part of "The Hobbit" film, wonder no more. Viggo Mortensen, the actor behind the man who would be king, explains why. And it's pretty simple. Because his character does not appear in the J.R.R. Tolkien novel.
Aragorn and Legolas are long-time companions and best friends since Legolas' father Thranduil sent him to live among the Rangers of the North. Aragorn and Legolas grew close, up to the point where Aragorn revealed his true identity to Legolas. Throughout his journeys, Aragorn and Legolas are as close as brothers.
However, a specific scene in The Lord of the Rings has led fans to theorize that Frodo and Legolas didn't talk, not because of time, but because the hobbit didn't know Legolas' name (and was too embarrassed to ask).
As many have observed before, the interactions between Frodo and Legolas are severely limited in the trilogy even though they are allies. In fact, there's only one line that Legolas says to Frodo: “And you have my bow.”
When he was just two years old, his father was killed by Orcs and his mother sent him to live among the Elves in Rivendell. He was raised by Elrond, the half-Elf Lord of Rivendell, and renamed Estel. Aragorn is kept in the dark about his heritage until his 20th birthday, when Elrond tells him the truth.
Yes. In appendix B of the Return of the King, there is a chronology of some events that took place after the story, and that includes a few times Sam, Merry, and Pippin met Aragorn.
"He was Aragorn son of Arathorn, the nine and thirtieth heir in the right line from Isildur, and yet more like Elendil than any before him." Aragorn was a descendant of Elros Tar-Minyatur.
Why were Galadriel and Cirdan not invited to the Council of Elrond? Galadriel was tied to Lothlorien not only as the ruler of that realm, but her ring Nenya preserved the purity of that land and helped protect it from the threat of Orcs.
At the end of Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo and his companions visit her. Frodo even offers her the one ring. Galadriel admits she has long awaited the chance to seize the powerful token. But, she says, if she took it, she would become corrupted herself and rule over Middle-earth as a beautiful but tyrannical queen.
When it comes to his level of resistance, it's a little harder to judge because he didn't have a lot of interaction with Frodo. However, Elves were by no means immune to the Ring's power. Just as Galadriel fell victim to it, Legolas could easily lose his self-control.
The Númenóreans made Umbar, the harbour city in the south of Middle-earth, into a great fortress and expanded Pelargir, a landing in Gondor near the Mouths of the Anduin. The "King's Men" among the Númenóreans became jealous of Elves for their immortality, resenting the Ban of the Valar, and sought everlasting life.
When we first meet Boromir, at Rivendell, he has no idea who Aragorn even is, much less that he is a descendant of both Isildur and Anarion, and his rightful king.
In the book, Théoden is not possessed, only muddled and given to despair, by the words of Saruman put into his ear by Gríma Wormtongue. He is also made to be suspicious of Gandalf. In the book, Théoden is not possessed, only muddled and given to despair, by the words of Saruman put into his ear by Gríma Wormtongue.
In the movie franchise, he did acknowledge Aragorn as his King before he died. In the books, he never questioned Aragorn's lineage, or his right to the Throne of Gondor, at all.
