Aragorn is the chief of the Dunedain and of the Rangers who protect the Shire (where the Hobbits live) and all Middle-earth. As Strider the Ranger, he protects, helps, and cares for the Four Hobbits: Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin. He is a good shepherd to them. Indeed, we can say that he is a prefigurement (or type) of Jesus, the Good Shepherd. Furthermore, as Aragorn, he is a prefigurement of Christ the King, the King who gives His life so that you and I will use our free will to choose to love Him and our brethren for love of Him. He died to save us from slavery to sin and Satan.
