Bilbo's Gifts is the twenty-fourth scene of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and the twenty-eighth of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (extended edition).
Synopsis[edit | edit source]
Before Frodo sets off, Bilbo gives him gifts for his journey. Bilbo unsheathes his sword, Sting, and gives it to a somewhat awestruck Frodo, telling him that "the blade glows blue when orcs are around". Bilbo follows this with the gift of his mithril coat, telling Frodo it is "as light as a feather, and as hard as a dragon’s scale". As Frodo unbuttons his shirt to put on the mithril coat, Bilbo glimpses the Ring:, and tells Frodo he would like to hold it one last time. Frodo begins buttoning up his shirt, and seeing the opportunity passing, Bilbo lashes out at Frodo, who recoils. Realising what he has just done, he draws back in shame and apologises to Frodo, who comforts him.
Differences[edit | edit source]
In the book, Bilbo does not lash out at Frodo after seeing the ring. After giving Frodo Sting and the Mithril coat, he starts singing a song.[1]
