On a slightly different note, I do find it interesting that Tolkien writes that Frodo feels He was perhaps a trifle annoyed with Tom for seeming to make so light of what even Gandalf thought so perilously important. It's interesting that Tolkien himself instills a tiny, but present 'dark side' to Tom - for all his wonders he is not perfect and has the (albeit small) potential for evil just like any other.
