Re: Tom B. and Favorite Character
Took

Hey everybody!

Out of the many, many, many, questions asked on this site, I noticed that "Who is Tom Bombadil?" and "Who is your favorite character?" have been asked the most. So here are my answers:

As for Tom Bombadil, I don't think he is a Maia. I think he is just who he says he is: Tom Bombadil. When Frodo asks Goldberry who tom is, she replies, "He is, as you have seen him. He is the Master of wood, water and hill." So does that mean that Tom is like "Father Earth" or somthing?

My favorite character is definatly Frodo. He is, in my opinion, the bravest member of the Fellowship.
