| “ | For Frodo | „ |
| ~ Aragorn's most famous quote |
| “ | Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West! | „ |
| ~ Aragorn's speech before the battle at the Black Gate. |
Aragorn II Elessar, son of Arathorn, also known in the wild as Strider, is a main fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium and the deuteragonist of the novel series, The Lord of the Rings, and one of the two tritagonists (alongside Thorin Oakenshield) of Peter Jackson's Middle-earth film series, serving as the deuteragonist of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
He was portrayed by Viggo Mortensen in the films. In Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings, he was voiced by the late John Hurt, who also voiced Hazel in Watership Down.
What Makes Him Pure Good?[]
- He protects Frodo and his friends from the Ringwraiths.
- He joins the Fellowship on his own accord to protect Frodo on his journey to Mordor.
- He doesn't take the Ring when Frodo offers it to him, showing that he is incorruptible. Granted, this is because he wasn't in direct contact with it like how Frodo was.
- He slays Lurtz, thus avenging Boromir's death.
- He forgave Boromir for attempting to steal the Ring and arranged a memorial service for him.
- He refuses to abandon Merry and Pippin to be tormented and killed after they get captured by the Uruk-hai.
- He assures Gandalf the White that Frodo still has Sam on his side after circumstances between his death and rebirth saw not only Borimir dying, but also made it clear the Fellowship of the Ring is meant to complete its mission as splintered groups (the task of carrying One Ring lies in Frodo alone; Merry and Pippin are under the care of Treebeard the Ent and his brethren in which they will inevitably take arms to stop Saruman from assiting Sauron any further, and finally, Gandalf himself, Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas had to liberate Theoden from treacherous Saruman's evil influence).
- He stops Théoden from killing Gríma Wormtongue despite the latter's treason.
- He fights alongside Rohan's soldiers to protect their women and children during the Battle of Helm's Deep, willing to die as one of them.
- He comes to aid in the Battle of Gondor with the Army of the Dead, and then allows them to finally rest in peace after the battle was won on their end.
- He led the efforts to heal the sick and wounded from the influence of the Witch-King.
- He leads a suicide mission at Mordor to buy Frodo and Sam more time to destroy the Ring.
- He freed all the slaves who were forcefully conscripted into the war by Sauron.
- When the Hobbits bow to him during his crowning ceremony, Aragorn implores them not to and instead bows to them due to their heroism.
