The Lord of the Ringswill forever be considered one of the greatest book-to-film adaptations of all time. Peter Jackson perfectly translates J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy world into live-action, capturing the very heart at the core of his story. While the films are packed with epic adventures, excitement, and iconic battles, viewers come back to them over and over again for the rich emotional story, which follows key characters as they grow and develop over time.

From humble gardeners who prove themselves to be among the greatest heroes of Middle-earth to wanderers with a destiny to rule the world of Men, The Lord of the Rings contains some of the most iconic character arcs of all time. While certain characters fade too quickly out of memory and time, others stand out as examples of perfectly written storylines. These Lord of the Rings character arcs are perfect from beginning to end.
