Aragron in the Fellowship

Aragorn has always been one of my favorite characters. He is loyal, strong, and has great knowledge of Middle Earth. In my opinion, Aragorn is the best member of the Fellowship (besides Gandalf, I think he and Aragorn are almost equal). We first read about Aragorn in "The Fellowship of the Ring." Frodo, after being very foolish with the ring, finds a strange man waiting for him in his room at the Prancing Pony. This man calls himself Strider, and tells the hobbits to be more cautious. The hobbits accept the advice but didn't know if they could trust Strider. Then teaming up with Strider to go to Rivendell.

On the way there, trouble comes when the Black Riders find them, and you all probably already know this story so why should I repeat it? The real mystery is in the character of Aragorn. He is a very strange man, who does not reveal too much too soon. He is a king in exile, a man sentenced to fight for those who fear. Yet doing so has strengthened him in many ways.



First: Its made him patient. After having to deal with Gollum for heaven knows how long, it made looking after 4 unadventurous hobbits look easy! 
Second: Its made him talented. Who else could track a couple dozen orcs and still know that they had hobbits on their backs?
Third: Its made him strong. It was proven by countless battles he's fought. After all of those, he is still alive! 
Fourth: Its made him wise. Anyone who lives by the land and for the land learns many things, and from that knowledge he develops wisdom.


Yup! All in all, Aragorn is a pretty cool character! He has the strength of an elf lord, and the wisdom of a wizard. He can track an orc through the rocks, and make peace with elves. He can pretty much do anything. Except one thing...help lead Frodo to Mordor. Aragorn had to stay behind while Frodo and Sam continued on. If he had not, he probably would have fallen to the temptation to steal the ring, and everything would've gone wrong. Yet, he foresaw the error in his judgment, and let Frodo go, which probably makes him the most perfect man in Middle Earth history.
