My, that's quite a topic you've chosen. I hope you didn't bite off more than you can chew.
When can hope and despair be "akin"? Quite simply, when the object these terms are aplied to is the same. In this instance, Aragorn is either refering to Frodo bearing the Ring into Mordor, the one place we simultaneously want it not be and be, or to the "diversion," where many are despairing and certain of death to preserve the hope of still many more.
