I think my the character in LoTR whom I like least is probably Arwen. I like all of the characters, but she isn't very important at all, and I'm glad they're stepping up her role in the movies.

Hmm...I dunno. I didn't like a lot of people. Definitely Arwen didn't make my Top Ten Characters List. Also, sometimes I didn't like Frodo over-much either...He seemed to diminish in importance and hero-ishness as the story goes on...

Frodo isn't in my top ten either, but I don't think he becomes less of a hero.
He increases in hero-ness until he destroys the Ring. Then, he doesn't want to fight anymore. In the Scouring of the Shire, he avoids it at all costs, and helps keep others from killing needlessly. It takes a great hero to do that too. He's a different kind of hero than Merry and Pippin, who are captains of war. Merry and Pippin are important too, but you could call Frodo a captain of peace.

That's funny, I considered Arwen and Frodo to be a few of my favorite characters....I would say that my least favorite overall would have to be Boromir. He seemed to be extremely arrogant and selfish in my point of view. But I think he died a very honarable death anyways.
How come you didn't like Frodo? I think he is very strong to carry a ring that powerful...he is great in the books too. My favorite character is Legolas, not because of him in the movie....but because of his cleverness and the way he lead the fellowship. As said in the extended DVD version, he was the "eyes and ears" of the fellowship. My second favorite is Gandalf though! |

I thought that Arwen left Glorfindel back at Edoras, tied up when she swiped Asfalof.

I don't dislike Frodo at all! I like Frodo, it's just that I identify with other characters better than him, and therefore like him more.
It's hard enough to decide which Fellowship member you like the least - different than disliking.

I don't know who i liked the least. i liked pretty much every one in there own way. but i liked all of the hobbits and elves (well i didnt really like arwen in the movie's but this is the book forum). i'd say that my least favourite would be denothor.

Its a Frodo Vs Arwen fight to the worst, and the loser wins.

Are you saying you like neither of these characters? Or that you dislike them?

How can Arwen irritate you? She speaks about four times. Are you a Eowyn + Aragorn fan?

Well... I meant the Arwen in the book. (I thought you didn't like book Arwen.)
What do you think about book-Arwen?

Book Arwen is a minor Arwen. Hence she doesn't irritate too much, and she gives frodo her ticket on the one way trip. Film Arwen pops up at times when quite frankly there is no need.
