2. Frodo, just because of the overawedness. In this moment, Bilbo seems daunted by his task (even though he's got the wrong mountain) and Frodo often has moments like that. I'm not sure if the similarity is intentional, but if I'm seeing the right parallel, I wouldn't be surprised - two small individuals facing tasks that seem much too big for them. Bilbo almost foreshadows Frodo a little. 3. I did find that confusing, but I like Curious's explanation about Elvish glamour. 4. I always like Tolkien's own drawings best, so I shall be boring and post one of his:

I usually like Tolkien's illustrations best, but in this rare case Naismith

Can't say I agree, although his technical facility is excellent as usual

I meant Gandalf "entering Moria" - not "enduring Moria"
