The fellowship of the ring had a lot of very different characters. A Wizard, 2 Men, an Elf, a Dwarf and four Hobbits. How do you think the Fellowship interacted with each other? Who do you think was the real Leader? What are your views on the 9 members. Off you go and post!!

the Fellowship did not exactly lead each other around Middle Earth. they all lead in one way or another.they werent there to pick the leader of the group. they were there to destroy the Ring and save Middle Earth otherwise Middle Earth would have been Saurons to rule.

I thought overall, they interacted pretty well, except for boromir and frodo, and maybe sam.actually, even though gimli and legolas had the race difference thing at first, they got along pretty well. after a while, i think it was almost like a bit of fun, not any hostility.

I thought that Gandalf was the leader. The only hostilities that I found were between someone who was drawn to the ring and frodo. So if they stayed longer together Frodo probably would have found a knife in his back.

I agree Lau, since Gandalf was the loudest, and seemed like the one with the temper, he was the leader. However, ARagorn seemed to be the expert in silent intimidation, considering him and boromir. Pippin- he was the clown, and merry tried to keep pippin in line. Sam was just the do-gooder, well, for the most part. More for Frodo than anything. Frodo was just a lump(just kidding)

you're right, i did ;D but anyway, Boromir was the hero, in a way he was also the villain.

Gandalf was like a father figure,one everyone could look up to, and then Aragorn became that once he was not there anymore. I'm sure it was like any situation when you are thrown together with a bunch of strangers and have to work together to achieve a goal, you all just get on with the job.

I say there was no real leader, infact, I think it's that each of the fellowship contributed one way or another. However, I think Gandalf might be the real one, did you notice that the whole fellowship kind of broke up when they thought he died? And then it got better when he came back? Oh man, I'm contridicting myself!

*grins* Yes, I agree, but even in a leaderless society, somebody always exerts themselves, and the others look at them for guidance, even if they don't show it. Gandalf was like a father figure, yes, and in that respect it was a patriarchy, just not as blatant.
