: A.) I didn't finish reading the book so you kinda let the cat
: out of the bag replying to my response and letting me know all
: these things that I didn't know. (People, can we start
: saying.. Warning to those who haven't read the book, this post
: contains spoilers?) :-) No biggie though.Sorry. :( : B.) Legolas and Gimli Do just as many things as bombadil and
: they are not considered "main characters" or "important
: characters" to most people. That would include Tom Bombadil.
: he Some don't consider him a "main character" or "Important
: charcater" But Like I said each character in my opinion no
: matter how minor or unimportant he may seem to most, is really
: important to the plot, and even if they're not major
: characters, they can still be more likable than those in
: leading roles. I can't imagine why Legolas and Gimli aren't considered main characters, since they are among the Nine Walkers. Eomer is not a main character. Legolas and Gimli are. : C.) I was defending Characters like Tom Bombadil against what
: other people say about characters who don't "impact the plot."
: If you read the way I began the post you replied to.. I
: said "I think each character is very important to the plot." You have to understand that there is this Bombadil thing going around. It's very catching, and very hard to get rid of.
