A day without food for a hobbit may be his end. In Return of the King this is plot point, where Sam and Frodo are rationing food as if it was extremely important to them, like it was a life of death situation to them, but when Smeagol throws the food away it causes a break point between Sam and Frodo, that would be odd just for some pieces of bread, but for a hobbit that could be deadly, and that explains why Frodo is almost dying when they get in Mordor. Hobbits are basically miniaturized humans, so that makes sense.Īnd turn out that this is plot significant, while Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli can walk long distances without eating, the hobbits have food as a constant challenge for them. Smaller animals almost always have faster metabolism than bigger ones, their heart beats are faster, they lose heat more easily and they need to eat more, there is a species of shrew that needs to eat every three hours if they don’t want to starve. I thought they did it just because they were lazy and soft, but them I realize it may be extremely necessary for them. In the Lord of the Rings movies we see that the hobbits do several meals a day, breakfast, second breakfast, elevens, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, supper and what else. Even in a normal situation it corrupts, and when it’s close to death it just pushes this into overdrive. It forces whoever holds it to choose not to destroy it. The ring can manipulate people’s minds and won’t allow them to destroy it. ![]() Nobody who ever held the ring and had the opportunity to destroy it actually chose to. Most people don’t know about his weakness, and posting guards would mean those guards have to on some level know that the lava pit is important to Sauron, and it would indicate importance to anyone like Frodo who snuck inside. The only reason Frodo knew was because of Gandalf, who was ancient and Elron who was actually there for the first time Sauron was defeated. However, there are two good reasons that this is left unguarded.įirstly, Sauron wouldn’t want others knowing about his weakness, especially orcs. You’d think if Sauron’s only weakness was having a ring thrown into lava that he would have the entrance to that lava pit guarded, but once they’re there, Sam, Frodo and Gollum can just walk right in. What was probably going through both minds afterward was "we are truly f**ked now." To the Hobbits, losing Gandalf was like losing a grandfatherly figure and Gimli and Boromir, both hardened warriors themselves, are barely affected by it but to Aragorn and Legolas it was like watching Jesus die. He and the rest of the wizards of Middle Earth are on the same power level as Sauron and Morgoth and Legolas and Aragorn know it because they were raised by the elves and were educated. ![]() In the LOTR lore, it is revealed that Gandalf isn't just some mysterious Wizard but something equivalent to an archangel like Saint Micheal and Satan. ![]() My theory is that Aragorn and Legolas where more distraught then any of the group but just didn't show it because they are hardened warriors but they are also educated and know who Gandalf is. Also when the sad music is playing and all the hobbits are crying we just see Legolas staring at the ground in disbelief. It takes Boromir shouting at him to snap him out of it. First when Aragorn witnesses Gandalf fall he freezes for a few seconds and almost takes an arrow to the face. In the LOTR movies there are these little details that only last for about a second. ![]()
