Heroes are important for our
society. We know many heroes like Spiderman –or Batman, Ironman, etc.- but, do
we know why are they heroes? Are superpowers the only important thing? Is there
any hero in Tolkien’s The Lord of the
Rings? Let’s observe and analyze these questions.
Heroes are amazing and very
important. They are brave and defend the world. Heroes risk their own lives
helping many people. They do impossible things that these regular people cannot
do. This blog analyzes and compares Spiderman
and Tolkien’s Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee.
We have chosen these
characters because they are really important. Some people know Frodo and
Samwise Gamgee. But everybody know Spiderman. Both appear in many books, comic
books, cartoons, series or movies. If you think of a hero, you immediately
think of Spiderman but not someone from Tolkien’s world. That is why we are
comparing both, to show that Frodo and Samwise are heroes, and to learn the
things that make someone a hero.
Throughout history, superheroes
have been considered incredible people because of their special super powers. Spiderman
is one of the most famous heroes. These heroes, like him, are first common
people and then they become epic characters. As a good hero, Spiderman do not
seek any award, only to help people and save their world. Besides, he is
respectful and has compassion for his friends and enemies.
Frodo and Samwise Gamgee are
heroes without powers. They need each other to be considered heroes. Frodo is a
bit coward and shy. He needs a friend to make him important. Also, Sam helps
and saves Frodo many times in the story. Characters, to become heroes, need the
help of the people to make a common effort. Finally, these characters are alone
in their adventures because only they can help the world. The same happens in The Lord of the Rings because is Frodo
who finishes the mission. Nevertheless, Frodo could not have done anything
without Samwise Gamgee.
In conclusion, they are both
great heroes. Spiderman and Frodo –and Samwise- are very similar although their
stories are totally different. Both need help and save their worlds. Both show
some virtues that common people do not have. This blog have shown these virtues of heroes and the similarities and differences with
common people. Now you can discover heroes around you. Watch out!
