The most prominent exploration of duality is found in the protagonist, Bilbo Baggins. Throughout the film, Bilbo struggles with a literal dual identity. On the surface, he remains the polite, food-loving Hobbit of the Shire. However, his continued use of the One Ring forces him to inhabit a shadowy second self. This duality is visually and audibly represented in his scenes with the Ring; he becomes invisible, yet increasingly visible to the dark forces of the world. : Stars Martin Freeman (Bilbo), Ian McKellen (Gandalf),
