Frodo Baggings:The Egoist of the Hobbits and Master over the Ring

The Idler is a wretched being, torn between two ‘‘selves’’ — two consciousnesses fighting against each other. The Idler is like ‘‘Gollum’’ torn between his ‘‘past self’’ (The proletariat), and the ‘‘future self’’ he wishes to acquire, to become the lord of the ring. Yet the Ring of Society has its own treacherous will, and it wants to remain itself a master. Gollum is at present (The Idler) torn between his past as proletarian, and his desire to become master over the ring, the master over society. Gollum had to dissolve himself in mount doom, and put an end to these antagonisms between the consciousness of the proletariat and the consciousness of the idle. It ended up in the death of Gollum (The Idler Hobbit) and also the death of the ring itself alongside the death of its master, ‘‘The evil proletarian Sauron’’ — the one who masters the ring by not succumbing fully to its influence are Sam and Frodo, the new generation of Hobbits, — an egoist Hobbit, Frodo is no longer the humane hobbit we see in the beginning of the Fellowship of the Ring. The idleness of Gollum fought against the proletarian will of Sauron, and together they destroyed each other in a dialectical battle of contradictions with inherent antagonisms reconciled only by the end. The Lord over the Ring, isn’t really Sauron, neither is it Gollum but Frodo.
