Fate and Free Will in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings
The themes of fate and choice are heavy in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and they show us that while many things are outside of our control, our own decisions may have the greatest impact on our own story.

For an analysis of how these themes play out in the story of Turin Turambar, check this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lROuU1RPDpU
For more detail on how Gollum came to destroy the Ring, I have a whole video on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVSFfrQrFIc
