Have you ever watched The Lord of the Rings? You may know that it is based on a very famous series of books, which many English children who like fantasy read at some point.
It is full of interesting characters, but I especially like the relationship between Legolas and Gimli.
Legolas is an elf, and Gimli is a dwarf. In the beginning, they don’t like each other very much. Elves and dwarves have a long history of not getting along, and Legolas and Gimli are no different.
However, as they travel together with the other members of the Fellowship, they slowly become friends. They are very different from each other, but they also have a lot in common. They are both brave warriors, and they enjoy competing with each other.
One of my favourite things about their relationship is their friendly competition. During battles, they often count how many enemies they have defeated. Gimli is very proud when he gets a higher number than Legolas, while Legolas is usually very calm about it!
I also like the way their friendship grows throughout the story. They start as two people who don’t really like each other, but by the end, they have become close friends. I think it’s a nice reminder that people who are very different can still become good friends.
That’s one of the reasons why Legolas and Gimli are two characters I will never forget.
