That would include people like Barliman Butterbur, who provided essential lodging and food. Heroism implies the exercise of bravery. Only members of the fellowship and people like soldiers of Rohan qualify. Gollum is not a hero, he is a miserable being who was used by Fate to achieve its ends. |

Although not a hero in the true sence Gollum played a big part in distroying the Ring was'nt it Gollum who lead Frodo and Sam through the Dead Marshes and showed them to the land of Mordor. I know his only intrest was in getting the Ring back but on the top of Mount Doom when Frodo's strenth left him just like Isildur it was Gollums gread for the Ring that in the end distroyed the Ring without him the Ring would have remained and Sauron would have reclaimed it

Hmmm, I'm liking Gandalf too! He was the man with the plan in many ways, but Frodo is the key player. I was just so happy for Gandalf when it was all said and done.

I couldn't place anyone as a real hero since without the actions and aids of many others, none of them would have gotten as far as they did.

(The real hero?)
I think that there can really be no specifying any one person. They all worked together to destroy it, whether they were in the Black Land or not.

I would love to say Legolas too but I think it was Sam, he saved Frodo many times, he took the ring from him so it didn't get taken.
On the other hand, its Gollum, without him biting the ring from Frodo's hand and falling into the Cracks of Doom who knows what would of happened? |

I think that a hero is someone who overcomes a negative situation with the intent of doing good. Gollum doesn't qualify.

What about Bilbo?!?!?!? He got the ring from gollum in the first place and was the only guy in history to ever (willingly) give the ring away 4 good!

I think they're all heroes. Each member of the Fellowship did something to save Middle-earth.

Sam!
But I guess you can't say just one person... if you took out any one of them, the Quest would probably have failed. Rosie

Hmmmmmmm!!!!!!
That's a tough one I think that all the Fellowship has done a great job of protecting the ring from Rivendell to Mt.Doom even though there is a few deaths here and there! But I think Sam protects the ring the most! Other than Frodo for keeping his hopes up and being so brave. |

Anyone who had anything to do with the ring (now that I think about it) must be a hero. There were lots of rolls to be played that (when complete) created heros.
Most heros of the second and third ages are heros[PHP]
