He embodies the personality traits of a daredevil, and is a complex and multifaceted character in the world of Middle Earth. He is in many ways the opposite of Legolas, with his desire to just rush into battle, but that’s why they both love to argue so much.

Novelty-Seeker: The Rebel – Aragorn is a vagabond and a ranger, traveling from place to place, and is rarely content to stay in one place. He only agrees to settle down as he recognizes that he is required and bound by duty to do so, for the better of others. He is a nice parallel to the Legend of King Arthur, and the king who did not want to be king.

Structure-Seeker: The Traditionalist – Samwise Gamgee, the hobbit who supports and works with Frodo with unwavering loyalty, even if he has no thirst for adventure.

• Samwise is a proud hobbit, who values the traditions and customs of his people. He loves the simple and cozy way of life in the Shire, and is proud of his hobbit heritage.

• He is able to analyze situations and make insightful observations, and is able to see patterns and connections that others miss.
• He can become annoyed by others irrationality and struggles when other’s don’t realize the right answer or question his insight.

Dreamer: The Idealist – Galadriel, the elf sorceress, is a dreamer and embodies the idealist personality.

She has created a harmonious utopia for the elves and is gifted with the capacity to see the future. Under the temptation of the ring, we see how her idealism could be warped and how she could become cruel and corrupted. She still resists the ring.

Goal-Oriented: The Leader – Samwise Gamgee, the hobbit, is goal-oriented and a natural leader.

Adaptable: The Chameleon – Merry and Pippin, the hobbits, are adaptable and able to blend in with their surroundings.

Merry and Pippin, the hobbits, can be considered adaptable and able to blend in with their surroundings, due to their quick wit, cleverness, and ability to adjust to new and unfamiliar situations. Throughout the story of Lord of the Rings, Merry and Pippin prove time and time again that they are resourceful and able to think on their feet, which allows them to blend in with their surroundings and survive in even the most dangerous of circumstances. For example, when they are captured by orcs, they are able to trick their captors and escape, and when they are taken to the court of the Ents, they are able to win the favor of the tree-like creatures and secure their help in the fight against Sauron. Merry and Pippin are also able to change their behavior and demeanor to fit the situation they find themselves in, whether it be engaging in battle with fierce warriors, or engaging in political intrigue in the halls of power. Their adaptability allows them to thrive in a variety of different environments and circumstances, and their ability to blend in with their surroundings makes them valuable allies in the fight against the forces of evil.

Modest: The Self-Effacing – Frodo, the hobbit, is modest and self-effacing.

The quality that makes Frodo capable of resisting the influence of the One Ring is most likely his modesty. He has little aspiration for anything. He has few goals and is just content with himself the way he is. He doesn’t think much for himself, and so, he is the opposite of everything Boromir and Saruman represent. He shows us the positive side of being unambitious. His modesty allows him to trust his friends and the strength of the fellowship, even though, his modesty also causes him to often experience mood swings and doubt.

Confident: The Leader – Boromir, the human warrior, is confident and a natural leader.

His assertive nature makes him struggle to follow the orders and plans of the fellowship and to ultimately challenge Frodo for the one ring. Thinking that he knows better than the others, and could do better by himself, he pushes for the ring. But realizing his error and how he had been lured by the influence of the ring, he decided to sacrifice himself to protect Frodo.

The characters in Lord of the Rings demonstrate a variety of different qualities, such as goal-oriented leadership, adaptability and blending into their surroundings, modesty and self-effacing behavior, and confident leadership. Each character brings something unique to the table that helps them contribute to achieving their ultimate goal: destroying the One Ring.

While these traits are all beneficial for accomplishing this task, it is also important to remember that each individual has his or her own strengths and weaknesses; understanding your own personal characteristics can help you identify how best you can contribute to any given situation.
