Miro Muses About Bilbo

On Monday, as I wrote The Sword of the Unspeakable, old Bilbo Baggins came to mind. I don't have any real conclusions or even a purpose to my post. Just thoughts.

Read more...I thought about how pleasant Bilbo Baggins seemed as he ventured off in to the unknown. He seemed so peaceful and happy as he parted ways with the Ring he had discovered. But later in the movie, there was a subtle, yet very present, soberness about him. Even though he was safe from harm and was living the high life, it was as if part of him would never be satisfied apart from the company of the Ring. He had been given a deep knowledge that kept him from enjoying even the richness of all that was around him. The Ring did something ... special for him. Something unique. And yet, he also knew exactly the sort of person that he will become if he allowed himself to have the Ring. Bilbo had seen Golem. And so he was glad, in some respects, to have parted ways with the Ring ... but there was a part of himself that he knew would forever be left wanting in doing so.

Anyhow... that is all I have on the subject. Just musings. :)
