Insights from The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, #1)

“I wish it need not have happened in my time.”

Frodo really didn't want this burden. He asks why it had to happen in his time. Gandalf says we just have to decide what to do with the time we are given.

The Hobbits find comfort in mushrooms and hot baths even when things get scary. It shows how much we need small comforts when life feels heavy.

“It is going to be very dangerous, Sam.”

Sam shows up at the Council of Elrond just because he won't leave Frodo. Loyalty doesn't need a grand speech. It just shows up and stays.

The ring doesn't just make you invisible. It makes you fade away until you forget who you are. Power eats the person using it.
