That's a thought-provoking point. The line between selflessness and victimhood can indeed be thin and sometimes blurred. While selflessness is often seen as a positive trait, it can sometimes be taken to an extreme where one may feel like a victim of circumstances or others' actions. In the case of Tom Bombadil, his selflessness and detachment from the concerns of the outside world could be perceived as a form of victimhood if he feels burdened by the troubles of others or the expectations placed upon him. How do you think this concept of the thin line between selflessness and victimhood applies to Tom Bombadil's character in the context of the story?
