Lord of the Rings analysis of success
The first movie of the Lord of The Rings trilogy 'The Fellowship of the Ring' is a tale of epic proportions. The story is one of classic good versus evil with all manner of twists and turns. It is seen by many as the greatest written work of our time. I think it is because the main character, Frodo, is not a fearless hero but a human (a hobbit actually) with human emotions.
