Re: Frodo or the Ring?

I should place an addendum to the previous post:

I think the idea may have actually been somewhat valid at the time LOTR was written; or at least if not exactly, then something very similar. It was only later when writing in detail after the fact that the origin is examined and that the playful concept of the possiblity of Gandalf\Manwe is discarded in favor of the servant of explanation. The statement directly refuting this is expounded upon later in even greater detail concerning motivations of the Valar and can be found in HOME vol. X Myths Transformed(surprise surprise).
