Ian Holm as Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jackson's The L...All these creatures live in different areas and are mostly in peace with each other. This drives the mood by making it into a fairy tale type. The conflict of the book is that there are many obstacles that they have to overcome before they reach Mount Doom. There are many monsters that are of evil powers that want the ring. A great example are the Dark Riders who are servants of Sauron. They provide a great hassle to Frodo who wants to return the ring. This conflict is a character vs. character type. In this case, it's two big groups against each other.
There is a lot of action in this book. Frodo and his party are on the run almost the whole time and the reader always is in suspense if something will happen. Even when the characters talk, it is exciting to listen...
