Spoiler alert: Skip if you haven't read through the whole series.


Frodo and the rest of the company was willing to distroy the ring. They set out with that mission. I believe that the ring would have to be carried by someone who the ring could have control over, but strong enough in spirit/mind/character to endure and overcome the power and lust for the ring. I know that in the end, it was distroyed by Gollum, who never wanted the ring to be distroyed, but the ring was taken to Mount Doon freely for the purpose of distroying it, then when Frodo took claim upon it, I believe that Destiny/Fate/Eru Illuvatar stepped in. (that was a major run-on) It was because of this willingness that allowed Illuvatar to move the circumstances for the ring to be destroyed.
