The True Hero of The Lord of the Rings
I have heard all manner of opinions on the subject of who the hero of LoTR is: some say Aragorn, who is certainly a very central figure of the last two books at least; some say the faithful Sam emerges as the hero; and some say that obviously it is Frodo, the character with whom the books (mostly) start and who has the most important task. On my part, I see that Frodo is certainly the most central character at the beginning but that gradually other characters emerge to share a good deal of the limelight, but I am curious to know your opinions.
