9. Lord of the Rings – Frodo vs. the One Ring

J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a foundational piece of the man vs. myth narrative. Frodo's fight against the corrupting power of the One Ring exemplifies how myths can have power over people. While great battles rage around him, the inner struggle that Frodo has with carrying the mythical artifact highlights the burden that the smallest person can carry: the weight of legend. With stunning adaptations, Frodo's journey remains one of the most profound explorations of humanity's endurance against mythical forces.
