I'd have to go with Bilbo on this one [In reply to] Can't Post

Although both young Bilbo and Frodo have great courage, I would argue that, if you compare them one-on-one, Bilbo has actually put his courage into effect in more ways than Frodo has. That is especially so if you are talking about the Jackson adaptations, in which the case for Bilbo is even stronger. Movie-Bilbo has accomplished more acts of unaided bravery in one movie than movie-Frodo has in three.

Whether talking books or movies, Frodo accomplished some extremely weighty things, of epic importance to be sure, but always with the help of others, especially Sam (and Gollum, ultimately). Bilbo, in contrast, cut his teeth on helping others rather than being helped.

A bag is like a hole that you can carry with you.
