Child,
I was posting my reply to Helen as you were posting and so have just read it.
You have, with great sensitivity and clarity, expressed many things I would have said about this question, had I had time, that the path to moral behaviour is diverse and complex, and that an essential element in LOTR is Frodo's voluntary choice to take the Ring.
Kudos!
