Well, if you're thinking about free will in Middle Earth, you'd probably get at some point to the idea of free will in The Lord of the Rings itself. And, if you think about it- what would be the point of all the heroics and choices made and hardships endured be if it all happened not because of the perseverance of Frodo and co., but because of some already written "fate." Wouldn't that completely ruin all the good "lessons" from the books?
This goes for Tolkien's other books too...
