hey everyone (Esty, it has been too long)
After reading this thread I think that it was the Ring that drove Frodo at last. For all the reasons said above: - Frodo constantly saw a Wheel of Fire in his head. He could not picture anything else anymore. - We know Frodo claimed the Ring at the abyss of Mount Doom. I think that Frodo would already have claimed it before, had the occassion occured before. Because Frodo could and had to keep the Ring he had no need to claim it. Also, perhaps, Frodo knew that claiming the Ring would bring danger. Quote:
It is interesting to ponder why Sam gets all the hope and not Frodo. It is, I believe, because Frodo already has something that will direct him further, however horrific, the Ring wants him to keep going. Sam needs all the sings he can get to keep up his hope. Sam is the main character in 'the Land of Shadow', because it is not Frodo, but he who decides the Ring's faith. If he lost hope, what hope would there have been that the Ring was destroyed. There is one quote that contradicts all things said above: Quote:
What do you make of this? greetings, lathspell
