Which Tolkien novel features the character Frodo Baggins as its central hero?
Answer
The Lord of the Rings
Answer
The Lord of the Rings
J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel The Lord of the Rings features Frodo Baggins as its central hero.
Frodo is a hobbit from the Shire who inherits the One Ring from Bilbo Baggins. He accepts the task of carrying the Ring toward Mordor so it can be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom, where it was made.
The Lord of the Rings was published in three volumes between 1954 and 1955: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. Tolkien wrote it as a sequel to The Hobbit, but it developed into a much broader epic about power, friendship, sacrifice, and the history of Middle-earth.
The story has many major characters, including Aragorn, Gandalf, and Samwise Gamgee. Frodo is nevertheless the ring-bearer whose journey provides the novel’s central narrative thread.
